Nikon pro staff 3-9x40 - Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 Rifle Scope, 1in Tube

Serious optical instruments, just as Nikon claims. Affordable to boot! This series of scopes is as reliable and functional as those costing two and three times as much and their brightness and clarity greatly exceed that of others in the same price range. I have owned all three in the series (3-9X40, 2-7X32 and 4X rimfire) for several years without issue. Don't be fooled by the fact these scopes are entry-level....they are still Nikons and come with a lifetime full warranty. My only beef is that the windage/elevation screws are of the old type (screwdriver needed) versus finger adjustable. But regardless, they are awesome scopes!
Pros: Brightness, clarity, simplicity, affordability
Cons: Windage and elevation corrections
