re: Let's Talk Optics!!

Nikon Buckmaster 3x9-50 on my Remmy 700 30-06
Nikon Monarch 4x12-50 on my Savage 112 7mm mag
Swarovoski Z3 4x12-50 on my Browning x-bolt 300 WSM

I love the Nikons. They gather great light and hold a great zero on some hard hitting guns. However, I ran across a deal on a Swarovoski that I couldn't pass up and let me say, it's the tits.

I think that my Nikon Monarch is comparable to my fathers Leopuld VX3 and that any scope that costed more was just throwing money away. Well the Swarovoski is absolutely worth the extra $200 I paid for the Monarch and probably worth the $700 difference in retail pricing.

I am convinced that when it comes to scopes, you get what you pay for. Sure there are some very good scopes which have moderate price tags on them, but don't pick up a higher end scope cuz you won't put it down.
