Bushnell Elite 3200 clearly the winner. I'd place the Leupold in second but then I have nearly zero experience with Nikon scopes.

I also would put the elite 3200 first, but the Nikon Buckmaster is very close.  The Leupold would be last in my book.  The Nikon and Bushnell just has better features for the money.

Billy,

I own a 3200 and several nikon scopes.  The 3200 and the Buckmaster are similar in terms of marketing - meaning that the 3200 competes with the Buckmaster, and the 4200 competes with the Monarch.

Between the 3200 and the Buckmaster, I would, and have, pick the 3200 - WITH NO HESITATION.

As for the Rifleman, to me it sounds like a poor man's Leupold.  To me, the Rifleman doesn't even compete with the 3200 and Buckmaster.  I think that the Leupold VX-II would be in the same class as the 3200 and Buckmaster.
