A Y,
My NXS has always made me a happy man. They are not cheap as you know, but to me worth every red cent. What Price range are you looking at? I noticed a Nikon Tactical in the classified section here on LRH earlier today (I think $750.00), wether it's still available I don't know. Some of the guys here could fill you in on thier quality as I have never owned one and don't know.

I am going bargan basement on this one. basicaly I am looking for advice on whats ok and whats "fall apart" in the bottom line of scopes.
I have a nice 4x drop compesated scope here it retailed for $60 back when I got it in 2002. its real nice but it has an integeral mount so it only fits on what it was made for.
 
The Bushnell 3200 in 10x40 is a pretty decent piece of glass for about $200. I had one on a .223 and it was a 'chuck killing machine. Clicks were solid and accurate, optics were nice and the mil-dot reticle was well done. The only downside is the fixed 10x... if that's a problem, I didn't mind it.

[/ QUOTE ] Check out the Nikon BDC reticle, I have the 3-9 and 4-12 and like them both. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I have a Nikon buckmaster 4x14x40 and I moved the elevation up down numerous times and then went back to zero and went to the range. It was still dead on.
 
I have swarovski 6x24AO 50mm TDS-4 it's right on with my gun but it took me years to buy it.I've had Leupold VX-III scopes,Burris Black Diamond scopes,Nikon Monarch scopes the Swaro is a much better scope and worth every penny.Some day I'll have a pair of Swaro EL binoculars.
 
Bushnell just introduced two new tactical scopes, one in the 3200 series and a more costly one in the 4200 series. Regardless, they will be much lower priced and good quality. Check their website or your dealer if he has a catalog.
Also strongly suggest the SWFA Super Sniper, fixed 10x at 299.00. Great little 30mm scope for the money.
