I think I'd have to go with the Nikon....just from experience...never have been sorry to own a Nikon..

[dac6933]

Nikon would be my choice

[Wiley719]

I like nikon scopes they are on all my rifles

[VorTexan]

Waddell would say Bushnell and Lee and Tiffany would say Nikon


Many other's would say anything Vortex makes.

I'm a Leupold man myself but between the choices you have given I'd stick with Nikon because I have had a Bushnell on a 300 mag and it couldn't take the recoil. I believe it was an Elite 4-12x40. It would stay sighted for about 10 rounds and then you had to sight it in again. Rings were lock tite tight so it was not the rings or bases. After a year of that. Put that scope on a 22 and got another Leupold.

Nikon of the two but I recommend looking at the vortex line of scopes, great quality at a great price.

Nikon all the way! I have both Bushnell and Nikon optics and the Nikon are by far my favorite. Furthermore, all my other buddies that used to swear by their Bushnell’s and Leopold scopes look through my Nikon Monarch and are amazed the clarity of the optics.

Nikon ; however I personally am not a fan of the BDC ...... get the standard niko-plex and sight it it 1.5" at 100 yds

[dustoffer]

Nikon, Burris, Leupold--or one of the expensive Euro-optics

Nikon

Go with the Nikon.

When it comes to optics, you get what you pay for, plain and simple. Two scopes in the same price range, look through them outside, not inside a store, and you should easily be able to tell which one you prefer. Spend at least as much money on your scope as you do on the rifle, if not more. Most rifles will outshoot the shooter, if that makes any sense, so it's just a matter of which scope you are most comfortable with, and is in your price range.
