I have a couple of Nikon scopes,and am very happy with them. I have one on a .270 and one on a syn. stocked .338 Win mag. The .338 has substantial recoil, and the Nikon has stood up to over 300 rounds,without changing it's zero. Both scopes have precise adustments,that actually move the point of impact 1/4" at 100 yds,just like it's supposed to. Leupold makes very good optics as well,but can get rather pricey when you get to their better lines.

The best advice has already been given...don't skimp on your bino's or scope's.
