I would also check out the Vortex ...bought one for my son ..4X12 it seems to be a dang good scope with a decent price ...
leupold hands down in my opinion. love all my leupold products and the support if you every do have an issue is tops.
Zeiss conquest in the same price range as Leopold.
Would I be left wanting if I purchased a Redfield (made by Leupold)? I want a 50 rather than the 40 for light gathering capabilities in low light situations so that where I will stand firm. I do not have the coin to drop $1k on a scope as the custom rifle is costing me enough . Good optics are key, this I know, but just wanted a few opinions and for them I thank you all.

The Nikon Monarch or Leupold should be just fine. I wouldn't go with anything less.
And really no reason for BDC reticles...... If you can't hit it with a standard scope what's the point of shooting....

With my 7mm Weatherby 700+..... Standard Simmons or Leupold scope..... BDC is a waste of time..... Learn to shoot your weapon and judge distance.....
