I'm sure this has been asked before and I know the opinions are varied, but I am interested in your opinions! I just got a Browning BAR in 30-06 and need to put a scope on it. I am debating between the Nikon Monarch (either 2.5-10 or 3-12 BDC) and the Zeiss Terra 3-9. I have never owned either. I like the bigger magnification range of the Nikons, but have read a lot of good things about the Zeiss as well. Which one has better glass? I know the Terra line is a new line to replace the Conquest. I really like the Conquest HD5 scopes, but they are much more expensive! A Leupold VX-3 may crawl into the mix, but I think I like the Nikon better than the Leupold. General consensus that I have seen is Nikons are said to be just as good for less money, and I like the lower end of the magnification on the Nikons (2.5 and 3 while still getting up to at least 9-12 on the high end, as opposed to 3.5 as the low end on the Leupold).
Anybody have experience with these scopes? Or recommendations? I appreciate all input.
Thanks!
