Leupold VX-3 4.5-14 x 50 ($660)
Nikon Monarch Gold 2.5x10 x 50 (side focus) ($719)
Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14 x 44 ($829)
Swarvoski Z3 4-12 x 50 ($922)

Here's my choices. I'm leaning toward the Nikon because it has a 30mm tube and I like that. But it has the lowest top magnification.

It's too late to start a voting progress because Opening Day is coming and I need to order (my Swarvoski is being boxed to be returned for service

).

Can anyone add a short comment on why I might order one over the other?

Thanks
