Im not a scope snob. I appreciate the quality and accuracy that come with the high end stuff but Ive found there's some good values to be had on the affordable end too. My go to deer rifle is a Ruger M77 Hawkeye 7 Mag(yet I am a Remington 700 snob). Back on track. Ive had a few good scopes over the years but my go to meat rifle has an inexpensive Nikon Pro Staaff on it and its a damn good scope for the money. Eastern hunting scope that is. After some work on that gun, and fighting to shoot the tooling marks out of its garbage barrel, it will shoot .4's with a certain load all day long if it isn't hot out. My point in that, is that the Pro Staff scope for as cheap as it is, stays together and honest and consistent. Not as clear as a VX3, but not as expensive either. That pro staff has taken some hard bangs too and holds a zero. REAL hard bangs. Like slipping on ice on a road with the gun on my shoulder and me going down with the gun and using the butt to break my fall. Never lost its zero.
What Im getting at is I firmly believe theres some value in some affordable scopes these days. Hunting scopes I emphasize. I wouldn't take that Nikon to a match.
