Very nice buck. Thanks for sharing the story of a very successful hunt (bonus coyote included!).

JEB, I have several also, way more than any other brand.
Hard to beat for the price, I think.

we are fortunate to have a variety of reasonably priced, good quality scopes to pick from .... for some of us its a Ford vs Chevy type issue .... both will get you to the grocery store but some folks get heated over the difference .... I use Nikons because the owner of the mom and pop gun shop our family buys from for the last 40 some years recommends Nikons .... we've been with them for so long that I'd be surprised if we change
