RE: personally
I've had a Simmons Aetec on one of my .338 WM's for about 5-6 years now and that scope takes the punishment well and is extremely clear. Those Aetecs are great scopes. The Bushnell 3200 on up are the old bausch & lomb scopes which are well made. I've used some of the cheaper Bushnells and had bad luck with them.
