All good recommendations. I like the Burris and Bushnell Elitte 4200 Series, I believe they both offer alot of scope per dollar. Same with the Red Field. HOWEVER, I can ASSURE you that the Red Field does not share glass with the VXIII. Yes they are owned by the same people, but they are not the same glass. I own Nikon, Leupold, Burris, Red Field, and Bushnell Elitte. My favorite scope is my Nikon Monarch.
