I would jump on the Nikon but I do not like the BDC Reticle. Have looked at the Sightrons and they actually look pretty good. Anyone have any experience with them?

Can I ask why you don't like the BDC Reticle? Have you looked through one in person or are you basing that on something else?

I'm asking because I've been researching scopes and have pretty much decided on the Nikon Monarch 3-9X 40mm with the BDC Reticle so that link made me pretty happy as it is about $40 cheaper than any I've seen. I've seen a few other places that have the Nixoplex Reticle for $250 but the BDC Reticle has been running $20 more.

To answer your question, I have not looked through Nikon's BDC reticle(except in catalogs)but I have looked through the Burris "BallisticPlex". I find them too distracting for my taste. They are still worth a look though.
