I use the Bushnell elite series because of the "rainguard" feature and the ruggedness has never let me down yet. I mainly hunt in cold weather Saskatchewan where the chance of breathing and fogging your ocular lens or getting snow on either lenses is highly likely and even Leupold or other high-end scopes do not compare with the "rainguard" feature in my honest opinion. i simply wipe the lens with my gloves or blow on it and i can immediately bring my gun up for a shot and know i will be able to see through it.
