[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 540676, member: 35183"] In that price range, the only one I have experience with is the Nikon. The M223 (3-12x42 with target turrets) is a tactical version of the Monarch 3-12x42 side focus scope. Considering that I have never paid more than $500 for a scope I cannot comment on the high end stuff, but I can say that compared to Redfield, Weaver and Bushnell Elite 3200 scopes that I do own, the Nikon is optically and mechanically superior. No overshoot or lag when dialing in the turrets, works consistently and holds zero and the side focus is great for eliminating paralax error (once you know how to use it). Its probably not the cheapest offer, but midway has it listed for $429, which is pretty good. I won't pay the extra for the BDC retical but thats me...
