jde30, Have you looked through any of the scopes you mentioned or are you just looking in the catalogue and trying to decide from the price? I have looked through a couple different Nikon modules and would have to say that the Nikons are allot clearer and brighter then other scopes. I ended up buying a Nikon myself. The Bushnell are also pretty good from what I’ve seen at the store but until you actually use them in the field it’s hard to say. I’ve also heard good things on the Bushnell customer service. Good luck....
