Hello, I am looking at the nikon african 1-4 1 inch tube and the leupold vx3 1-4 and can not make up my mind. I have leupolds,nikons and ziess already and thank for the $ the nikon is the best buy but can not make up my mind. I am not set on those 2 I do want a low power and a dot would be a plus and want to stay under $400. I am waiting on my 16 inch 450 to come in the mail is waht it will go on. Thanks for the help

Is the African model so named for it's resistance to recoil? All I have are Monarchs. I was going to put my 2.5-10x42 on my 20" when it arrives, though The upper range would only be for group shooting since where I deer hunt, it's so thick that I usually leave it at 2.5. It was on a .300 Win Mag and has held zero for over 3 years.

I think it is named the african because of the low power and the german reticale. I think that is what I will try I will post on how it does.
