    Brand new, 3.5-10X50, from Cabelas.

    I'm thinking of using it on a 7mm-08 Weatherby Vanguard 2. Currently I have a 2.5-10X40 Nikon prostaff on it. Going to take the prostaff and put it on a 7mm Remington magnum Ruger M-44. The scope of the Ruger is an older Monarch that's starting to show it's age, starting to get a little haze.

    Couple questions

    Paid $149, how did I do.

    What is the warranty on a Nikon scope 20 years old? Is it worth sending it in for repair?

    I would absolutely send in your old scope to see what Nikon can do to help you out. There's a reason they have a full Lifetime Warranty and they do stand behind what they make, even if it's 20 years old. Let me know if I can help you out in any way. I do some freelance PR/Shooting Event's for Nikon and when I run across a post like yours I try to do my best to help the person out any way I can.
    Keep me posted.

    Yes I'd say you did very well since Amazon is $200 and Academy is $250, and opticsplanet is $240. Looks like you got a hell of a deal catching the sale. I just bought a Viper PST and amazon was $200 less than cabela's... I'm surprised cabela's was so cheap for you. My parents got me $200 in gift cards there, and I was looking at scopes, and I was already decided on the Vortex viper, but ordered it from amazon, and bought some new reloading dies and a hand primer with the gift cards!

    Thank you. I will give Nikon customer service a call sometime very soon.
