Nikon has pulled support on coyote hunts due to media pressure, I will not own one.
Carl

Me too. They don't want to upset the bird watchers.

That's funny you say bird watchers.. A couple years back near Brewster, some buddies and I were coyote hunting and hiking out of a draw where we had gotten one, and at the head of the trail there was a group of bird watchers and they were floored and disgusted that we had shot a cute innocent little dog.

Theres plenty of room for all of gods animals.... right next to the mashed potatoes!

Didn't you tell them how many birds you had just saved...? :chuckle:

I broke down and bought a set of Nikon Action 8x40's just recently and for the $80 I spent on them I would say they would be tough to beat. They have a great field of view and are very clear and bright.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Zeiss all the way. Optics are crystal clear, low light transmission excellent. Been tested by me when i got bucked off my horse and fell on my back on top of my gun & scope. Shot my deer soon afterward. Incredible toughness. Rain, sleet, snow, hot, cold etc. Never fog.  :IBCOOL:

Leupold all the way Nikon customer service sucks. Bought a rangefinder and had a problem when it was 3 months old and they gave me some bull sh-- excuse and wanted to charge me more to fix it than I  paid for the thing. I wouldn't buy anything Nikon!!!
