How's the durability of the Nikon scopes, how do they compare to Leupolds warranty and reputation? When I bought my vari-x II a couple of years ago I compared it to the buckmaster and I must say that the BM had sightly better optics (clearer) but I was concerned about the durability(not hearing any pro's or con's)so I spent the extra money and bought the tried and true vari-x II. I'll consider the Nikon's the next time that I buy a scope but I hope that their reputation isn't tanted.

If you're not huntin' you're not livin'!!!!!!!!
