Hi Joe,I see you mentioned Nikon as a possible choice, I have a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x40 which I have mounted on my 243 win, it was mounted on my 300 win mag before that, I really like it, I think it's as good as any other scope out there as far as clarity.
The reason I switched it off the 300 mag was I had a problem with the side focus and lost my receipt so I thought there was no way I'd get it covered by the warranty without the receipt, so anyway after a few days I contacted Nikon Canada about it and they told me to send it in and they would see what they could do, well that's what I did and after about 2 weeks I got a call from a lady at Nikon asking for my address they didn't fix my scope, they replaced it and to make it even better I had it in my hands the day after they called looking for my address ( they sent it by air and all without a receipt to prove I was the original owner).
So not only is Nikon a very good scope,IMO, the warranty coverage is excellent.
Best of luck with what ever you choose
