This will be put on a turnbolt in either .270 or more likely 6.5x55 swede. Here's several I'm currently considering (budget doesn't allow real high-end stuff):
1. Sightron SII 3-12x42mm, $289 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=3693
2. Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40mm, $335 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=3276
3. Weaver Grand Slam, 3-10x40, $269 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=2498
4. Leupold VX-2 3-9x40mm, $300 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=2975
5. Nikon Monarch UCC 3.3-10x44mm, $345 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=2349
6. Simmons Aetec Master Series 2.8-10x44mm $190 http://www.riflescopes.com/products/512101/new_simmons_2.8-10x44_aetec_master_rifle_scope.htm
7. Burris Signature Select 3-10x40mm, $369 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=1996
8. Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40mm, $190 http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=1964
9. Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12x40mm with AO $288 http://www.riflescopes.com/products/324124A/bushnell_4-12x40_elite_3200_rifle_scope.htm
These are roughly in the order of consideration, highest to lowest. Looking for the most scope for the money among these or others - best overall value, since they're all pretty good.
I'm leaning toward the Sightron SII, but the Elite 4200 is very clear and does have the nice anti-fog/anti-rain coating - is it worth the extra? Any other thoughts or alternate suggestions in the $190-$375 price range new (before tax/shipping)?
