Where exactly have I been all over the net bashing Nikon scopes? Please provide a link. I do own a Nikon scope, and while I don't think it's the best class in it's price range, it's still a very decent scope for the money. The one I own is a Prostaff, so not their top end model, but it's held up great and been a good scope. I will be the first to tell you the Burris FFII, optically is superior which I think we all know, and the turrets aren't the greatest on the Nikon, but it's still pretty decent optically, and it's not a bad scope at all. Better both optically than the 2 VX-I's I've had and has managed to actually work without losing zero unlike the VX-I's. I'm curious to where I bashed it or said I didn't own one? Everyone keeps posting on here that I talk good or bad about certain products without owning them, but I'm curious, how do you know if I've owned one or not?
Really?? You say you own one now eh? Well which is it Jr? Which we all know? Kinda like the "turrets" on the Pro Staff?

BTW if I don't know the answer to something you don't see me post about it. Ever wonder why I don't post in the bow section? Hmm, there is a reason for that. Or the taxidermy section? Reason for that too.
What I do respond to is when someone comes on here spreading bs, that's clearly bs. Or when I do know about a specific product.

Perhaps the firearms and optic sections would be great places for exclusion as well

Rifles?
There is an article in the March,2011 "Guns & Ammo" by Craig Boddington "Out of the Box Accuracy" that I found quite informative.
It relates very well to the array of posts in this thread.
I don't know whether Boddington is an "EXPERT" or not, however he has a varied and broad experience base.
I found his comments enlightening and seemingly unbiased(the key word "unbiased").
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

As for me, I bought a 700 adl 2 yrs. ago. It rusted in one weekend. I took it out to clean and was pitted with rust. Yah, I know I'm supposed to wipe it dry. My sons cheap H&R didn't rust a bit. What does that tell you? It shoots 2" @ 100 yds and 6" @ 200 yds on a good day. My old Remingtons shot very well. This one is going in for a Savage. I'm done, the last 3 Remingtons have been a big disapointment in accuracy.

The H&R has a satin finish (about 400 grit) that is not nearly as course as the bead blasted finish on the ADL and thus does not rust as easily. This finish is similar to what is on the Remington 700 CDL.
The rifles that have mirror polished blued steel, such as a Winchester 70 super grade, perform almost as if they were stainless steel because the surface of the metal is so smooth.

Why do you keep recommending Vortex. You only know what you read.
I wouldn't have any issues if you put disclaimers before you post, that you read it somewhere.

Are there some potential lurking variables here. Maybe. Lets say there was some neglect. Which I don't particulary think so but if there was they were all neglected the same.
