98% light transmission (advertised), BDC, Tactical reset knobs?  Am I missing something or is this a steal?

Also side question, why do you want large open knobs on a BDC scope?  I could understand a mildot long range scope where you are making adjustments but don't you zero it in once and use the BDC points after that?

Never the less I think I might be picking this up, I was looking at a Sightron SI 3-9x40, not sure if this has better glass?

I belive the P represents the prostaff  level. Then up to the Buckmaster, Monarch then the Monarch X. My problem is that Nikon warranty is very hit and miss. I have 2 Nikon scopes at the Monarch level and I like them both for the price range. At that price the prostaff's are a usable scope compared to other makers in that price range. There is a big difference  As far as light transmission. It depends on the wave length of light they are measuring. % of light means little if it is warm and fuzzy like a kitten.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
