Got $500 to spend at Nikon Website

[G. Freeman]

Hello Guys,
I got a store credit from Nikon due to my unrepairable Nikon Monarch 3 scope. I don't really know what to get from their website.

Rangefinder? Binoculars? Don't want to make my life more complicated. Don't see many reviews on their website.

For my scopes, I use around 14-16x to see my bullet holes at 50-100 yards. I don't know what a 10x binocular will do for me. Clarity will be very important as far as the ability to see bullet holes in paper.

Here are some things that peaked my curiosity:

As far as rangefinders go, don't know about a thing about these.

Any suggestions or opinions?

Thanks in advance.

Good advice above. But if you never had a good range finder, that would be a way to go. You will use it for more than you think you would. A check eould be preferred though.

What about a spotting scope? Nikon still makes those I think.
