HuntingNet.com Forums - best scope for Belgium BAR 30-06

I own a BAR belgium 270 topped with aleupold vx-iii 4.5-14x40, its the perfect scope I feel, its my muley/antelope rifle, so I wanted somethign more than 3-9. Look on ebay, i've purchased a couple of new scopes there for couple 2-300 less than retail. Personally I'm not a zeiss fan, haven't looked through their scopes, but when binocular shopping, I wasn't impressed at all, bushnell also isn't a fan of mine. Nikon, Leupold, Swarovski, is all i own. started out a Nikon guy, became a Leuopld, which is pretty much the only brand I buy/own now. As far as what they use to be, I haven't heard that, though they do have the new low rise scope etc....which to me seems like a marketing scheme, I dont need a 50 or 56mm objective, my 40mm on that bar is perfect, i do own a 50mm on my .300 and its big. I'd say Nikon or Leupold, spend the money though, how long do you plan to have this rifle? I wouldn't go less than 3-9, I had a 2-7, I think if i would have had a 3-9 I wouldn't have replaced it, but since i was replacing it i went with a 4-12, or 4.5-14.
