Call P&D and get a monarch for $10 more.
Sorry, I'm not up on current prices of Nikon scopes, if there are better deals that's great.
Personally I wouldn't buy one.
Meaning no offense, but if you're not up on current prices, why opine that it seemed reasonable?
I wouldn't pay $380 for a used scope that's $420 brand new from cabelas.
A VX-2 is a great option, though.
I couldn't tell you if a Monarch 3 was better or worse than a VX-2, though. I could tell you my opinion, but I couldn't tell you for a fact
ok, here's another question. I found that browning does make a .308 AB3 hunter for around 670$. Anyone knows where around Calgary I can find this? Everywhere I go they say they don't carry. (cabela, bass pro, wholesale). They also make this combo which I can't find anywhere (AB3 Redfield Scope Combo with ABS Case for 740$). in USD$
Any help of where I can find this would be great thanks!!

I can't say "for a fact" either, but I can give an informed opinion as I have owned and used both... the VX-2 IS a better scope... better and smoother adjustments, better overall fit and finish, better clarity and low light function, better POI retention. I had two Monarch's crap out on me... CS was a pain. I only own Leupold's now.
I'm a huge leupold fan. I have 6 or so. That said, I just bought a monarch 3, and the fit and finish is as good as my VX-3s, the zoom adjustment is smoother than my VX-6, and the clarity is right up there. Clicks seem nice and positive, too.
I've got to give the monarch one big point: consistent eye relief. The eye relief at 2.5X is 4", and the eye relief at 10X is 4". None of my old VX-2s, or any of my VX-3s do that. You have to move your head slightly for all zoom settings on my Leopold scopes.
My VX-6 has consistent eye relief, but it costs 3 Monarchs.
Customer service with Leupold is fantastic, naturally.
Cheers!
