Buy recommendations Help choosing riflescope

Hi guys!

I've started hunting like 2 years ago and now I've started to do some precision shooting. Nothing professional, just a hobby.

Recently I've scored a Nikon Monarch 7 IL, in 56mm and I have an opportunity to exchange it for a Burris SixX 40mm with a ballistic crosshair.

I know the Burris SixX is for a long time discontinued but the warranty is still there and some people told me the SixX was a real beast.

Same for the Nikon but the fact there is no more warranty bothers me a bit.

Any input to help me to decide?

It'll be used mostly for deer hunting in a tree stand (200-300yards ) and at shooting range for fun and challenge. /// Forgot to add the Nikon is 3x12 and the Burris is 2x12

Thank you all!

If you're located in Alberta, I would recommend Leupold. 

The Leupold repair shop is in Okatokes and I've heard have a quick turn around time.

You can get a VX freedom with CDS turret for your specific gun/ammo choice, just dial to the exact distance and hold for wind.
