Nikon scopes have very good glass, but a reputation for losing zero. This has been reputed to be improving lately, however, and several of our customers used Nikon optics with no problem. How much cash are you looking to spend? If you're thinking that a Leupold is in your price-range, I say jump on it. If you feel like you can spend a little more dough, look into Shepherd Scopes or I.O.R. Valdada-Bucharesti. Both are a little pricier, but both have great glass, extremely solid construction, and excellent reputations for holding zero. They also both feature built-in rangefinders, with the Shepherd system be, IMO, one of the best on the market right now. I.O.R. uses Zeiss equipment, so you're basically getting a Zeiss scope for 1/2 price.
