TXBoy, Bushnell Legend 3-9x40....$124.95 The Legend is the only one of the bunch that is fully multi-coated. It has a field of view at 18'-36' and a 3.5" eye relief. The fast focus eye piece comes in handy and is a benefit. This would be my pick as the best of the bunch.
Nikon Pro staff 3-9x40.....$149.95 The Pro-Staff by Nikon has multi-coated lenses, 11'-34' field of view and the longest eye relief of the group at 3.6".
Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40......$99.95 This scope has the widest field of view of the bunch at 14'-42' and has a 3.4' eye relief. In addition to multi-coating the Trophy also has Amber bright coatings for color contrast in the fall (makes animals appear to stand out from the background). It also has a fast focus eye piece like the Legend. This scope is a very good scope for the money but the Legend is better in low light with its fully multi-coated lenses. The main difference that you would see if you compared these three in a hunting environment would be light transmission. The Legend is third in the line of Bushnell scopes with only the two Elites being brighter. It is priced in the middle of the three you have chosen and is the only one with fully multi-coated lenses. Pretty easy choice....go with the Legend. Edited by Chris |

Yes the Banner series are all water-proof and fog-proof. Good buy for the money and they perform well in low light. The Banner line is fifth from the top (as far as quality) in the Bushnell line. Bushnell Banner 3-9x40....$79.95 Edited by Chris |

Thanks. I am surprised about Zeiss. Thought it was European just by the name.
