The Nikons are fine scopes and this one would be fine for your purpose, you don't have to worry about that.
I you had been looking at this forum for long, you would have seen many posts and discussions about the relative merits of the somewhat cheaper Nikon versus the somewhat more expensive Leupold.
the Nikon has extremely bright and clear optics. The Leupold is probabley built a bit better, is a very well tested design by long experience, is American made and has great service should it be needed.
