Trying to decide btwn the Nikon Prostaff 20-60x82 or the Alpen 20-60x80.
Both have angled eye, are water and fog proof, & fully multi coated. There is a significant price diff. what will I get with the Nikon that I won't from the Alpen for the extra cost? Will be used for hunting and wildlife viewing.
thanks in advance.

Re: Nikon prostaff or Alpen?
Hi
About the only thing you will get with the Nikon is the option of other eyepieces. That's unusual for a scope at this price, but Nikon has not been good at getting these available, so it may be academic. Both are great scopes for the money, but I see no other adavntage with the Nikon.

Hi
For the little extra, I'd get the Nikon with the idea that I might be able to get an optional eyepiece if I ever need one and, yes, the Prostaff did score ever so slightly better in terms of resolution.
