How much money are you talking about spending ? If you get up in the 8-900 dollar range neither .. Leupold is not what it once was .. Once you get up that high go to snipeshide ,and pick up something nice used ..
Nikon !! I got em on all my guns. The 4.5x14 in the buckmaster series is my favorite. I've got it on 3 of my hunting rifles.
I am a Nikon man. If you're not getting into stupid expensive territory that's what i'd go with. Got some Leupolds too and the nikons are clearer to me.
i have a few older Leupolds and I love them, I have had a couple of the lower priced Nikons and they were good too. But not as good as the "old" Leupolds. I agree, today's Leupold is not what they were 20 years ago.
Bushnell Elite 6500
I like the Nikon Buckmasters for my hunting rifles have several Got a couple of Leupolds as well and a Bushnell Elite too and prefer the Nikons for the money
I was a pro photographer for many years and I have a soft spot for Nikon Glass. I have Monarchs, Prostaffs, a Buckmaster and a couple of M223s. I've never been disappointed. I have some old Leupolds too and I've never been disappointed in them either. For what new Leupolds bring, I find myself more impressed with other offerings in that price range these days. I actually don't see the need to spend 1000 bucks on a rifle scope as long as Nikon keeps putting out the quality they do.
Nikon. But I havent experienced either past $500.00. Really want an M308 for my remmy 700.
