That depends upon the type of shooting you are going to do and the level of precision you want.

I have a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 and it does not bring my deer in enough past 100yds for me to see if is a doe or spike. I am wanting to purchase a 4-16x44 and want to know if you recommend a side focus or if the active target site would do. I respect your opinion.

Just up front, magnification does not always mean you are going to see something better. If you magnify subpar glass it just magnifies the imperfections in the glass and you still can't see well. Good glass always beats crappy magnification.
The side focus is for parallax, it is not about focusing the image. There are a lot of better options out there than Nikon. Nikon IMO are not that great. What is your budget? Exactly what kind of hunting are we talking? Type and caliber or rifle? We can help you pick out the best scope for your money and needs. Edited by supertool73 - January/08/2016 at 13:56 |

I hunt white tail deer and wild hogs if they come in. I shoot a Thomson Center Pro Hunter in 308 caliber. I would like to keep the price around $400 give or take $50.

For your price it's going to be hard to beat that Sightron SII on the sample list I pointed out a couple of days ago. One other good option is the Vortex Viper in 4-12x40. Either one will be better than the pro staff you're using now. Good luck.
