Which one for a .25-06?
More turret, elevation & windageadjustment room with the Elite. Other than that.. I don't see enough to sway either side. Both are very nice & don't discount the Sightron SII's qualityeither. You can get the 3-9 SII at ultout.com for around $186.

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.

If you haven't read this review it might be helpful in making your decision - http://www.savageshooters.com/Pages/HuntingScopeComparison_Page.html

FWIW, Nathan
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.

The Elite 4200 is the best of the two scopes.
