So I'm putting a new piece of glass on one of my rifles.
Caliber is .308
Rifle is a Remington 700
Intended use will be target shooting 200-800m and maybe some hunting
Suffice it to say I was bitten by the "cheap optics bug" and it sucks....
I've been studying what I would consider good mid-range price glass and I'd like some opinions.
Here are the two I'm considering :
Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40mm, Mil-Dot, $289
Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40mm, Duplex, $455
I've read the reviews, both have great reviews. Both come with no-bull**** lifetime warranties.
All the kool-aid drinkers at the shop have been trying to convince me to buy the Leupold, but noone yet has given me an adequate reason to spend another $175.
Tell me why I should drop the extra $175 of my hard earned dough on the Leupold over the Nikon.
