josh....it really depends on your preferences for a inexpensive scope. some have features others dont or little things that bug you etc. i have a leupold vxII on my 22 mag...a nice scope and about perfect for the range on this 22 mag but the crosshairs are kinda thin and i really dont think id put one a big game rifle, unless my particular one has a different reticle. I have no experience with any bushnell products but i do like the aetec..i put a 2.8x10x44 on my wifes 243 and she and i both love it...its been on for about 2 years so only time will tell but right now it seems great...the new ones do look a little different than hers though.....whether its cosmetic or not i dunno. another one ive been looking at is a burris to replace an old tasco on my 30-06, just got to get around to looking at them and junking the tasco. either way all those you mentioned should be fine..just finger them all and see what you like best.....but for what its worth....im REALLY impressed by that aetec.
