Nikon Monarch Scopes are my mainstay. I also have a Vortex Viper. If you go to the web sites for both, the specs. are close to each other, if not identicle.
I mainly use a 3.5x10x50 Monarch, but have used the Viper 3x10x50 for hunting deer. I cannot tell any difference in actually aquiring my target in low light or the bright of day. Both scopes also have their own version of a BDC reticle if that is what you like. Yes there are better scopes out there, but you will not go wrong choosing a Nikon or Vortex. If you drop down one class, The Nikon Buckmaster series or the Vortex Diamond series scopes are pretty good too.
