i agree with everything he wrote with one exception. I personaly think that opticaly the bushnell  is as good as the burris and i will even through in the redfield for a three way tie . . Have to agree though that the windage and elevation knobs on the redfield suck. There mushy and in the two i have not repeatable and niether will reliably move poa a 1/4 inch at a time. I dont have a vortex but have a set of there high end binoculars and if the optics in the scopes are anywhere near the binoculars id have to say theyd hands down be the best bet but out of the rest personaly id take the bushnell. I also totaly agree with his comments on the prostaff. Ive got two and there low light performance is disamal at best.

Just a word about the author of that review... Ilya Koshkin is without doubt one of the most knowledgeable optics authorities out there today! Trust me, when he speaks of optics.... Listen!
