I just picked up a brand new Nikon Prostaff 4-12X40 at Cabelas the other day, gotta say I was thoroughly impressed with it’s Clarity, It was in the Bargain Cave due to not having a Box, never been mounted, i got the scope for 70 bucks. I can’t remember ever owning a Nikon? The only experience I remember wasn’t very good, it was a friend that had me mount it for him, i used a wheeler torque wrench to specified torque setting (15-20 inch pounds if I remember correctly?) a few months later he sold the rifle and kept the scope, he had me remove the scope for him, after removal I noticed the tube was slightly dented from the rings? I have owned MANY MANY leupolds over the years and Not once have i ever seen a dented tube from scope rings. That experience kinda set me toward disliking Nikon, But after playing with this Prostaff the other day i was so impressed with it’s Clarity, and at 70 bucks I didn’t feel i could go wrong. I bought a set of Burris Signature series rings and the offset insert kit for Cushion against the Tube and being able to correct Large windage with the inserts instead of the Scope itself, Hopefully all goes well and i have no issues with the setup. Any of you have experience with the Prostaff Scopes? Likes, dislikes?
