My pro staff 5 2.5x10 I bought new 2 months before Nikon closed the door on rifle scope manufacturing broke after approx 30 or so rounds through my 35 whelen the other day. Nikon is refunding my purchase because they can't repair or replace the optic. I also declined to accept their in house credit voucher. I do still love my Nikons and need to replace the optic. I have narrowed it down to either a refurbished monarch 2.5x10 bdc with 90 day warranty or a NIB pro staff 7 2.5x10 30mm tube BDC. I have 3 of the same 2.5x10 monarchs and the glass is better imo than my leupold MK 4's I paid $1600 for. I was curious how the pro staff 7 compares to the monarch? Nikon is only refunded me $229 and I want to stay within that price range. I also want a 2.5x10 magnification. The only scope I saw that was similar priced was a vortex viper with a regular cross hair for 249. A regular crosshair has no interest to me. I like my BDC‘s or some types of drops. I saw there was a 30 mm Buchnell for $169 as well in 2 1/2 x 10 but to be a bushnell is exactly the same as a Tasco, basically like a Geo Metro versus a Cadillac in comparison to an Nikon. So is the pro staff 7 going to be as clear and bright as the monarch?
