mike in co, obviously you and I have different priorities, I prefer value over bragging rights. Nikon makes a great scope, the 4-12 40mm with BDC reticle will fit perfectly with the rifle I'm building. Have you actually read about the scope I posted? I've had lots of different scopes in the last 25 years including several that cost close to $1K. Me? I'd rather put the extra $300 into reloading equipment and supplies for the rifle, as long as the scope was good enough.
Thanks for the advice however.
