Thinking of putting this on my new savage .308 bolt action. Wanted to get some pros and cons before pulling the trigger. I've never owned a Nikon before

I've got them on three of my guns, I prefer the 3x9x50 over the 3x9x40. Love the scopes.

I've had some good and bad experiences with them.
Good: My brother and I both had Prostaff's on our H&R 444's with no problems. I sold my 444, but his is still going strong.
Bad: My uncle had one on his 35 Whelen, and the cross hairs started turning inside the scope. He sent it back, and they sent him a new one. No problems with customer service.

Yea I was looking at the 3-9x50. Thanks for the advice guys. Think I'm pulling the trigger on one. You just can't beat these prices
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:01 pm to KajunKouyon
What's the price on the 3x9x50?
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:08 pm to lsushelly
$212 with the BDC reticle

May put one on my Savage 30.06Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:14 pm to lsushelly
I've always hunted with leupold but I've heard there's not much difference between the two. Might as well save $100 by going with Nikon.

For that price the leupold rifleman is a better option.

What's better about it? Just curious.
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:31 pm to KajunKouyon
Gathers light better and doesn't have the "looking through a pipe" effect that you get from nikkon.
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:38 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
Is the rifleman similar to the VX-2?
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:43 pm to KajunKouyon
Yes
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:43 pm to KajunKouyon
I agree with everythingDownshift said.

looks like I got some decisions to makePosted on 12/25/12 at 6:50 pm to KajunKouyon
Yeah me too. Any thoughts on Redfield?
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:52 pm to KajunKouyon
I have Nikons on my rifles. I partial to them. Not knocking the Leupold, I have always had Nikon.
Posted on 12/25/12 at 6:55 pm to lsushelly
Don't know much about those buddy. I don't drift off from brands to often 
Posted on 12/25/12 at 7:09 pm to KajunKouyon
I'm by no means calling the nikkon a bad scope. I have one and I like it. It's just not on the same level as the leupolds I have which were the same price roughly.

Is the VX-2 better than the rifleman?
