Just wanting to see what everyone has to say about these two scopes, i personally have two Nikons but the prostaff model and i would like to upgrade to some better optics around that $450 range.

Ive been looking at the monarchs in the 2.5-10x42 and 4-16x42 mil dot models and then the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 also in a mil-dot reticle came to my attention. The scope i get will be mounted on a Remington 700 .308 and it will be mostly used as a rifle season deer gun and hopefully on a Hog by next year.

Which has the better glass and overall just the better scope?
