Sightron seem good value. I have a couple of 3-9*40s . About the same quality as Bushnell elite but about $100 cheaper.

I am running a couple of Bushnell Elite 3500 and they seem to be ok for hunting so far. Nothing special but do the trick.

Hi bluerob/brett1868,
Regarding Voldemort could this be the dealer you could also call 'the butcher' because of one of the butchers tools. I am interested in some of his scope bargains (not)

Cheers
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

I used a 24x Leupold and a 36x Weaver for rimfire bench rest. The extra magnification always comes in handy, my preference was 36x. Sightron also make a very good fixed 36x if you can find one.

The number 1 scope on my centrefire rifle is a Vortex and on the 22 is a Nikko Stirling....

You are a brave man going into bat for Nikko Sterling, not got the best reputation around the traps. Since you have a Tikka I bet you hit what you aim at. I have not seen a Nikko for many years so I am not qualified to judge them.
