RE: !!!!NEED ADVICE!!!!
Burris, Leupold, and Nikon are all about on the same playing field in my book. I just got a VX-III, and it does exceptionally well in low light conditions. It also has great eye relief. I've also got a Nikon Buckmaster. It is a very good scope for the price. I can notice a little difference between it and a Monarch and VX-III, but not much. I've never used a Burris, mainly because Nikons and Leupolds are a lot easier to come by around here.
