Ok, I realize that this is a topic that gets talked about alot (which is better?) but I have a few questions. All of these would be 3-9x40 or close to it.

I can get a Buckmaster for about the same price as a 3200 and I believe I can find a monarch for about the same price as a 4200. I've seen some opinions that favor the Nikon when compared to Bushnell but how do these four compare to one another? And how much of a price savings would you have to have to pick one brand over the other in each class? Is it worth it to get the bushnell for the rain guard?

I've also seen the browning version which I understand is just a 3200 on sale for $129 which sounds like a bargain but I don't won't to short myself if it is actually a lower quality scope?? I don't know if it is or isn't.

Something else to consider is the Burris brand, I've read alot of suggestions for the fulfield II
how would it compare?

And I've also heard good things about Vortex Binos but nothing about their scopes; again how would they compare?
