Opinion needed on scope

Nikon has a lifetime warranty, and their service is pretty good.
I have several, hunted them hard and only sent one back, and that was my fault -- lost the ring around the eyepiece.
But I agree with the above posters, there is a world of difference between a $100 scope and a $200 scope. After that, the differences are very very incremental.

The "doughnut" was not part of the image through the scope.
It was a blockage of my peripheral vision.
Nothing to do directly with eye relief, although naturally the farther you put something from your face, the less of your field of view it blocks.
Speaking of eye relief, this leapers UTG scope had about 3 inches of eye relief.
That's eyeball to rear lens distance with a perfect full view through the lens.

Pics of the doughnut effect I'm talking about.
These are not my pics, not the same scope I'm discussing, but the phenomenon looks like this.
Longer scopes with smaller front lenses have less of the doughnut effect.
This is my pic, and my fixed 4X scope on a Savage .22lr.

Damn you...posting that up at breakfast time. Damn you.
The scope will be irrelevant, if you strap it on the gun with duct tape.
The installation of the base and rings are much more important than the scope itself.
I've had a Tasco strapped on an A-bolt 300 win mag for 25 years. I've fired an excess of 100 rounds and wore the blueing off the end of the barrel from riding on the truck seat. I have never adjusted that scope, and will shoot a deer in the head at 150 yards every time.
