Just got back from Cabela's 'bargain cave' and had a opportunity to look at several scopes for a slug gun (H&R Ultra slug hunter). I looked ata Leupold Vari-X II, Burris, and a Nikon Monarch. I took them all to the Mule deer museum and looked through all 3. According to my eye, it was Leupold > Nikon > Burris...They were all under $200.
