nikon prostaff 5 opinions

[Rotorwash]

Im looking at getting a nikon prostaff 5 to put on a 308 AR.

The ones I've looked through have all been nice and clear. But Im not sure how well they hold up to abuse.

Does anyone have any input that will be helpful?

I have a Nikon Prostaff 5 4.5-18x40 that I have been happy with. It has held up well for me but I have it on a hunting rifle and don't go out of my way to abuse it either as I don't see the need.
What would be the "abuse" yours would see?

Just the usual abuse from semi autos and high round count

I think Nikon Canada has a great warranty on new scopes so if you did have any issues I believe you would be covered.
Check with the Nikon Canada rep. I don't recall his name but I have seen his posts on CGN in the optics section.

I think I got 6 of 'em, 3.5-14's and couple 4.5-18's and all the reticles. Clear and smooth adjustments and seems to track good no issues - fire away!

The silver 3.5-14x40 is a pretty good price (32% off) at Cabelas right now

I doubt you’ll have any recoil related issues with them, Nikon’s are well built for what I’ve experienced. They have a great warranty from the sounds of it if you do break it, I’ve always had good experiences with the Nikon products I own.

I'm happy with my 2.5-10x on my mini14. Prostaff5 and vx1s are what I found to be good budget scopes.
