I used to buy cheap scopes, and have since changed 3/4 of my scopes out to leupold, it is customer service. I think I would like to try a trijicon on my deer rifle for evening hunts. I also dream about a premier, us optic, nxs type scopes. Probly not in the cards for a while

I can't afford the high end scopes so they're only dreams right now, e. g., Schmidt and Bender, Nightforce, high end Leupold, Swaroski, Zeist, US Optics, and others. I always read buy the most expensive glass you can afford and match the glass to the the rifle. That means if you spend $700. on your rifle, spend $700. on your glass. Each year seems to get better and better with what scopes are offering in price and quality. I feel like it's a buyers' market.

has anyone tried the Nikon Predator with the 3 rings and bullet compensator?

Yes, and with excellent results!

Red, what rings are you using for the scope and I'm assuming a 30mm tube scope?

Hawke medium tactical rings.

I've never paid more than $1,100. for a scope so I don't know what the high end scopes have to offer. I've always liked the Leupold with the varmint reticle but there are other scopes out there that give you a big bang for you buck. Look at Hawke and the Bushnell Elite 6500 scopes. We buy the best scope we can afford.
