I prefer leupolds but picked up a redfield revenge 3x9x40 for $179 and put it on a 35 whelen. It is doing great so far. I've passed it up and down from my tree stand on a rope and even bumped it a few times and its still on. I got the one with the range finding reticle. I haven't tried it out since eveything I've shot so far has been less than 50 yds. Good luck on your choice.
