I just bought a nikon monarch 3-9x40 for $235 on ebay. This is the fifth one I own. I also own a buckmaster and I can't see alot of difference. I think the buckmaster and 3200 elite are both better than the bushnell legend. The legend looks good on paper so I bought one and I'm not impressed. I saw 3-9x40 buckmasters pretty cheap at www.theopticzone.com I bought a scope there and think they're the real deal. I think weaver v9 and v10 are a real buy also. The truth is if youstick with a 3-9x40 you'll get the most scope for your dollar since they are produced in greater quantity.
