    Nikon Prostaff rimfire II 3x9x40

    Has anyone had any experience with these?
    I have decided to upgrade my .22 scope (well return the one im borrowing from a mate) and was looking at a budget of about $200. I only use it to shoot possums and bunnies/hares mostly at night.
    I see an online store has them on sale for $90usd so even with shipping it comes to about $220nz.
    Any thoughts (or even alternatives) would be appreciated.

    I am coming from a budget no name scope so almost anything should be better.

    Ive got a non rimfire prostaff on my 22. Great little scopes. Surprisingly good optical clarity, mine seems to dial up and back to zero well enough too.

    +1 on that.
    I have about five Nikons I imported from Natchez as "refurbs".
    All mint and optics out of proportion to their price. Their 2-7 "shotgun" scope is ideal for a rimfire with its shorter parallax setting.

    Dunno if they even ship to NZ these days. I did this a few years back but the ITAR regs/ ridiculous interpretation of same means that many US retailers just won't ship to foreign buyers
