Leupold Ultimate Slam and Nikon Omega lookin good????

 I have been playing around with these two scopes for a couple months now. Tonight i made my last range trip before my Hog hunt here in PA with Lehigh bullets. http://lehighbullets.com/products.asp?cat=23. I really have come to the conclusion that Leupold is superior in clarity and letting light in before dark.  http://www.leupold.com/_pdfs/ultimateslam_3_9x40_specsheet.pdf  I do like the Nikon Omega, but i really think it's because of the extended eye relief which is really nice when your shooting stoubt loads.

I have not really compared ballistic reticles yet. The Nikoplex reticle is nice on the Omega scope. Natchez has that on sale right now for $139.99. That's a steal. The Leupold reticle is very nice as well. Right now i prefer the Leupold only because of clarity. The Omega is still a very nice scope in my opinion. I will hunt with both, and plan on testing the reticle's with Lehigh bullets and Hornady SST'S during Turkey season.

Grouse- is the omega the one they were marketing for muzzleloaders a while back? I have a nikon monarch on a 7mm that I can't tell any difference between that and a loopie in lowlight. Seem to remember that it cost a little more than 139 though

The Omega is the ML scope, Your Monarch is up the food chain from the Omega series..  The Monarch is awesome and comparable to any top line scope...IMO
