[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3266495, member: 15054"] I have multiple Nikon scopes in 3-9x40 and a 4-12x40 and what i noticed in differences in different models was not clarity of the glass as all are exactly the same there the under 180 dollar Nikons anyway. The difference is the thickness of reticle and some have fast focus eye piece. Instead of turning the lock nut back and adjusting the end of the tube the more expensive ones lock the tube and just a small end of the scope needs turned for focus. This helps in acquiring the target quickly or at least getting a clear focus quickly. Helps with old eyes. I was out shooting one day at 300 yards I had my savage 10FP heavy barrel .308 with 6-24 x40 scope on it. And a mossberg 100ATR in .243 with pencil barrel. Both would shoot under 2.5" at 300 That particular day the .243 won the shoot by making a group more than 1/2" smaller than the much more expensive Savage. Handloads tailored to each gun. Scope on the .243. Older Tasco 3-9x50. Yea go figure. I do have a Vortex crossfire 3-9x40 but have not mounted it on a rifle yet to compare it to my Nikons. I keep getting these 99-109 dollar Nikons and I am not disappointed in them at all. I do like the fast focus eye piece best though. [/QUOTE]
