I know this is a loaded quesiton and the leupold lovers are going to get their feelings hurt, but........ The Nikon will track much better. Plus, I prefer their turrets over the Leupold. However, it's going to be substantially heavier. Something like 18 oz's vs. 12 or something like that (going off of memory here). With that being said, I've had buckmaster scopes (4.5-14x40 and 6-18x40) that tracked better than the Leupold VX1, VX2, and VX3..... Of course YMMV.. There's a reason the Nikon gets 5 star ratings. Try one, you just might like it... Just sayin..
