I don't have advice exactly on who you would prefer for a rifle scope. My background is more in binoculars and spotting scopes. With that said, both have a good reputation. I know Leupold also has a good rep in rifle scopes too. I would however go with Nikon as I know there optics fairly well and know they make a first class optical lens. On another note, Nikon manufactures there own lenses and Leupold purchases there lenses from a Japanese manufacture. I don't know who though and that also doesn't mean they are any less quality then Nikon.
If it were my purchase I would buy Nikon.
