To answer the OP's question- yes they are worth it. Positively and without a doubt.
Nightforce rules the roost for just plain working. Even some of the recent S&B's have started having problems. The 2.5-10x32mm is, in IMO, the best hunting scope made for 0-600 yards. The tracking, durability and reliabilty is simply unmatched.
Wow, there's a certain copy and paste participator here that will roll around the floor clutching his chest when he sees this.
