I have found the scope which came with rifle to not have enough zoom, lacks parallax adjustment and I would rather learn Mildot than BDC reticle. I primary shoot benchrest at the range but will keep 3-9x40 for hunting.

I am thinking of purchasing Nikon Monarch 3 4-16x42 side focus Mildot for roughly $465. I think the only thing it lacks is FFP (first focal plane).

Is there a better option in this price range? I will eventually upgrade rifle but wanted to learn what I need to be a better shooter first. For me a scope with Parallax adjustment and Mildot seem vital to great shooting.
