I just bought a new rifle and i need some glass. I found a good deal (I think) on a leupold vx2 4x12x40 varmint rectical $300. But i also found a decent deal on a Nikon Monarch 4x16x44 $345 I already have a Monarch and i like it ok and i have a leupold vx3 and it is ok. I have never looked through a vx2. Just wanted to get some opinions on these to scopes in a side by side comparison. Thanks lee
