At this point, I would take either one. This season I am using a new-to-me T/C Compass 6.5 CM rifle and the scope on it has pretty bad parallax, and a very heavy trigger. I can work around both of them for now but will definitely be working on both this off season. This no-name scope has got to be the worst scope I have ever owned, it looks to be the combo scope that came with the rifle, if it is, I'm very surprised that they would top this rifle off with this scope seeing as this is a pretty accurate rifle out the box. I will probably opt for a Vortex scope though since they give me a pretty large vet discount, and have yet to own a bad Vortex. I do love me some Nikons though, they have always served me well and have yet to have one go bad, but now that I have said that, and they no longer service them, watch them all go south on me.
