im looking at both of these scopes. they both come in 4-16 power and external dials and good warranties. help me decide there going on a AR10
Nikon's Warranty does cover any problem's you encounter for the lifetime of the scope. Agreed, it doesn't cover getting run over by a dump truck.....go figure.
While I do do some work for NIkon, I have been using their scopes for almost 20 years now by choice. I can't say I have ever had one that didn't track, strange.
The new M-308 will be out in about a month, mid Sept. Thus far from what my buddies who have put 1000's of rounds under this scope tell me, this scope is the real deal and should be very big for Nikon. Some guys were using one at a shoot in Utah last month and I am happy to report that the misses at 500 yards were few and far between.
If you need a scope now I can understand not waiting, but if you can hold off, I think you will be very pleased with what this M-308 scope offers you.
