The old model Prostaffs were a good buy. The new model Prostaffs are a great buy. Nikon changed the issues people had with the old model. The new model has fast focus, finger adjustable windage and elevation, and better glass, so everything is good to go. It compares favorably with the older Buckmasters. I have the new model 2-7x32 and it is very bright. I also have two of the older 3-9s. The difference is very noticeable.
