Are you going to hunt or plink with this gun? If you are hunting, in my opinion you owe it to the animal to make the best shot. Don't skimp on your optics. In all the hunting equipment you can have, the two most important items are, quality optics and a well constructed bullet. JMHO.

Of the two mentioned, I'd probably pick the Nikon Prostaff.  I've got a fixed 4X prostaff on the wife's .243.  Frankly, I'm suprised at how clear the optics are.  Haven't put many rounds through the rifle with the prostaff on, but seems to hold the point of impact just fine so far.
