Here are the choices and the price I can get on each. Any first hand experience with any would be appreciated.

Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16x50-------419.00 dollars

Burris Black Diamond 4-16x50----529.95 dollars

Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x50----------599.00 dollars

Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x50---------589.00 dollars

Lets hear it. Even if you have a negative opinion of any of the listed scopes fire away. I want to hear them all.

Or suggest another in this price range. I need at least 14 power and need very good low light performance.

Personally I'd go with the Elite 4200 but I think you can beat that price. Have you checked with Jon at the Optic Zone.

Todd, I don't believe you will go wrong with any on your list. I believe it boils down to personal preference. You will no doubt find strong supporters for each of them.

If it was me I would buy a leupold vx-11, 4-12 and save a couple hundred dollars + or - .

Of the scopes on your list I believe I would go with the Zeiss.

Regards, Byron

I waited on the Mueller box to show up at the top of the page and clicked on it. I AM going to purchase a Mueller Red Dot just to see.
