Would like to know what the difference is between these scope in terms of glass. I can already tell the differences in turret covers. I'm going to be mounting one of these to a Browning BLR 7mm-08 20" barrel. Both offer the 2.5-10x magnification.

The Prostaff 5 is $279,
the Monarch 3 is $399
I hunt in thick woods with a maximum range of 100 yards mostly, but on occasion hunt at other locations where my distance may stretch to 300 yards max. Interested in getting a BDC reticle also. Just wondering if the price difference is worth it. I am really interested in one of these scopes, because of the BDC app and the use of 1" tubes. This scope will be mounted on a rifle I might take hunting once or twice a year, not my main rifle, but have been wanting to get it into the rotation. I have a Vortex HS scope already and a SS scope on another rifle. I don't want to get into these price ranges since I will not be using this rifle a lot. Thanks for the insight.
