3200, timberline, or 40/44?

[Gallahad]

just want some opinions on dependability and optic quality. specifically looking at either a 3-9x40 3200 bone collector, a 4-14x32 timberline, or a 3-9x40 40/44.

I have no idea what a Timberline or a 44/40 scope is and see no reason to pay extra for the bone collector name on the Bushnell. I have a couple of the 3200 3-9 scopes on my rifles one with regular plex and one with the DOA600 reticle.

Like Graybeard, not familiar with timberline, did view thru a 3x9 Bone Collector today while brousing a store, and own a Weaver 40/44 scope.  But my 40/44 is one of the aspherical lens models....being a model with power starting at 2.8 or 3.8 that cost about $50 more than other lens type 40/44s in a comparable power range.
 
Have not any idea where timberline or Bone Collectors are made, but 40/44s are made in Philippines.  I know I'm very happy with my 40/44 due to the quality of its lens....darn good clarity in it....but I'm not sure a regular lens 40/44 as good as mine.
 
As I mentioned, viewed thru a Bone Collector in a store today while looking thru several brands of inexpensive scopes.  I picked out a sign in store, probably 30 yards away, viewed it with each scope on same power.  Think I did this with a BSA, TASCO, and a Bone Collector.  As I remember, all about the same price range.  Personally, I thought the lens quality of these scopes was about equal.

I can't speak to the Timberland or the 40/44, but have had a couple of the 3200 2-7 Bushnells  for several years and really like them. They have both been trouble free and I think are excellant glass for the money.

I wouldn't give them an extra .10 for the Bone Collector name, the 3200 model has a lot of fans.
I like Burris but kinda hard to compare the smaller objective of the Timberline with the others, depends on what you're mounting it on.
From what I understand the 40/44 with the aspherical lens system is the latest reincarnation of the Simmons Aetec and more recently the Intensity scopes from parent company ATK.
I have 2 of the Intensity's with the aspherical lenses and like them, time will only tell if they are durable, I have one mounted on a .270 the other on an Encore MZ, but both have only a couple seasons and a half dozen range sessions on them.
Hard to argue with the time-tested 3200.
