Never heard of these scopes, How far will you be shooting on average? How much are you willing to spend? Make sure you get atleast a 40mm Lens, that light really comes in the scope, and you can tell a cheap scope from the rest when you can hunt that precious extra 5 or 10 minutes that can make or break your hunt.

If you are going to spend around 500 bucks I would reccomend a Nikon Monarch 3.5-10.5x50mm I purchased one two years ago and I can shoot at night time as long as the moon is half full. I shoot a 30-06 with it

I also have a 3-9x40mm Nikon Buckmasters scope on a .308 and I love it also great scope for the money only around 200-250 bucks.

What are you going to spend on this scope? I've heard that they are good value(especially the pistol or LER scopes) but for the price of their top of the line model you might be able to get something better. What's the longest shot you expect to take on a deer? Are you hunting from a stand, or are you walking around? How far away can you reliably hit a paper plate from the position on type of field rest you will be using? What type and model rifle is it and what type of groups are you getting with it?

I honestly think that scope is massive and overpowered for a deer rifle. It might be OK on paper or varmits at long range but it's too much to be lugging around for deer and the field of view would be very small. The vast majority of deer are taken at less than 150 yards. That scope is suitable for a woodchuck at 600.
