I have a few of the Leopold compact ultra lights(3 of em) and 2 Burris's
in like range of magnification,(2x7 and 2x8, or maybe its a 2.5 x8 ,I forget to be honest as was a slight difference between the two )
added them to some custom ultra light rifles I had built years ago
all the leupolds stayed nice and clear and two of my Burris's got sort of a yellow tint to things after about 20 yrs of age or so, still held zero just fine, but lost there clear view on things! rather disappointing, contcated Burris, and they offered to swap me for other model scopes, so that was nice of them!

they were both of the Possi loc models and both were a little on the heavy side for being marketed as Light weights, but were added to some higher recoil calibers, so when with hem
I since swapped both of rifles and went to full sized scopes(Leupold VXIII 4.5x14x40's)
added a tad of weight to rifles, but eye's are older now and like the added power range!

SO< I know Leupold's ain;t on your list, but I would also consider them if I was you?

been making the same like model for decades, so a proven model IMO!
have NO experience on the other two brands or very little to say either way on em!
