[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 950910, member: 6452"] All of my rifles wear a Nikon Monarch of some sort. They tend to run at the high end of your price range but they have been absolutely great scopes for the money and the lifetime warranty is amazing. I just took advantage of it in fact. I had a 4-16X50mm that ended up with a dust nib in it. I could only see it on 4X so I never really noticed it but recently I decided to contact them mainly to see if I could get the new spring loaded reset turrets installed. They mailed me out a 4-16X50mm Monarch 3 no questions asked. All of the Monarchs I own track beautifully, they come in very useful ranges of magnification and look great on a classic hunting rifle. For his 40th birthday I got my brother one of the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire models. The Prostaff are a little cheaper but looking through the glass and at the tube they seem to be built identical to the Monarchs except for the plastic turret covers. I don't like busy reticles and do all my windage/elevation adjustments with the turrets. That means lots of on and off for the turret caps. I would not trust the plastic caps to hold up as well as the aluminum ones on the Monarchs. If you like a BDC style reticle I would take a look at the Prostaff and just ignore the caps. For all I know the plastic caps may be perfectly fine. [/QUOTE]
