JWest's Review of Nikon Pro-Staff 5 Rifle Scope - 4.5-18X41
I took the opportunity to look through one of these before I bought it from Optics Planet at an unbeatable price. First off I chose the mil-dot reticle model and given that the turrets are listed as 1/8th MOA I was a little disappointed to read that after I ordered it. After getting the scope that went away as the manual states that at 12x the clicks are in 0.1 mils and it's clearly marked on the power ring. I was surprised when I got it to find that in the box there was a sun shade, taller target turrets and caps and a bikini style lens caps. I hadn't read anywhere that those were included with the scope. (SF Side Focus models only according to the manual) The clarity is great as is the light transmission and trueness of color. For the money I'm extremely happy with this scope. The weight isn't much more than most 3-9's and the magnification is excellent. My only small complaint would be the eye relief isn't a "constant 4 inch" like it's claimed to be. There is some slight movement between 4.5x and 18x but it's not a big enough issue to overlook this scope either. I have mine on my Ruger AR556 and use it mostly from a bench at the range though I have absolute confidence in its accuracy and it holding zero for hunting if I want to take it out. The turrets are super easy to reset and swap for the taller or shorter ones. I have mine mounted in a Primary Arms Deluxe Scope Mount which is at the perfect height. Overall I'm very happy with this scope and will certainly be trying out the spot on app and possibly buying some custom X turrets in the future.

life time warrenty
mil dot reticle
4.5-18x Magnification
Nikon quality optic
