I use a Bushnell. It has worked for me for several years now, and promises to continue to be good for several more.

The best one you can afford.

Sorry to hear that you have had bad luck with Bushnell's. I have two of them, and they have been good so far.

Consider/look at the Zeiss Conquest. IMO better optical value then the Leupold VXIII. If outside your budget then consider a nikon, burris, etc, or reconsider bushnell the elite series. 4200 elite can be found online for some great prices and it's a pretty nice piece of glass.

Hard to beat a Leupold Vari X-II in 3-9X40.

For what a Zeiss conquest costs today you can get far more clarity, brightness and color in something else. A 3.5-10X50 with a duplex runs $750 now.

You didn't say what your budget is but I will assume you don't have a ton to spend.

Burris fullfield II (my first choice in a budget scope)
Bushnell 3200 or 4200
Sightron SII
Nikon buckmaster
Leupold VXII

Don't get hung up on magnification or huge objective lenses. A simple 3-9X40 will do everything that you will ever need it to do. You can step up into better glass and lens coatings and end up with a brighter and clearer scope with a 3-9X40 than one with high magnification and/or large objective lens and not spend any more money.
