After searching around this, and other, forums for a scope, I came up with a few options all in the same price range (which is limited at this point). Currently, I'm not looking to spend all that much on a scope, and in the future when I acquire more funds, I'll probably be looking into the Zeiss lens' (I'm a photographer, and Zeiss is what's up). Unfortunately, most of my findings were from 2009-ish, so if there are some newer and better scopes for the same price that have been recently released, I'm open to suggestions. Here is what I came up with: Burris 3-9x40mm Fullfield II Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 Swift Premier Waterproof 3-9x40 Swift Premier 2-7x40mm Swift 4-12x40mm Premier My main uses would be for hunting (medium-larger game) and target practice, on a low EGW 20 (or 15, can't decide) MOA picatinny rail on a Remington 700 SPS. Not positive what rings I'll be using atm. Thanks in advance for the help!

+1 2-7 Viper.
It stomps all over the other scopes you listed. |

I should also include the Nikon Buckmaster 3-9X40, for whatever reason, I thought it was over the same price of the other scopes.

That Viper is still above all your considering. We're talking VX-3 territory. That scope sold for close to $300 at one time. Mine replaced a VX-III I had.

much better than the buckmaster, like 300 said, it's close to a vx3, maybe equal.

I have 3 of the 2-7 Vipers, and they are a super bargain right now. I also have 3 of these.

Get the Elite 4200 3-9x40 for $199. Great glass, tough, and rainguard really works.

Awesome, I'm looking at the 2-7 mentioned, and contemplating the 6.5-20x44 for $90 more. Not a bad deal :D
Alright, you guys convinced me :p
Nice, definitely going to go with the Viper then.
Good to hear, though I'll probably be going with the Viper. Not sure which one though.
