Bushnell, Nikon or Redfield?

Last night I was hunting in the Wind, snow, rain, sleet, fog and low light. Pretty much the worst conditions ever. This is my first test for my Revolution. It failed!!! Would not even have been able to shoot and I constantly had to clean fog on the lens.

Now on the flip side I would like to have tried one of those 1000 dollar Zeiss scopes in that weather I doubt that either would have preformed much better in those conditions. Last night was one of the crappiest hunting situations I have hunted in ever.

The scope holds zero great. I probably have 200 rounds through her and it never flinched. I am going out tonight as well but it supposed to be clear tonight I will report back later.

Just a update on the Revolution Quoting myself lol... I went out tonight and it was clear and calm I stayed out until almost pitch black out, only light was the moon. I never got to scope a deer tonight but I was impressed with the low light abilities of the scope I could have shot in the dark lol. I do not have much experience with the other lines of scopes, but was impressed tonight. Yesterday was just a mess outside I never had to clean the lens on my scope once this evening. Just my 2 cents :rockOn:
 
Bushnell's are decent enough... My preference would be a 3200, or higher.

Also, I like the Burris scopes, largely due to the ballistic plex feature. Both are about the same price and hold their zero very well. The only small thing about the Burris that I don't like it the cross hair adjuster screws do not have an ARROW to indicate that your dialing up or down, or Left or Right. I would say that that is a bit of an oversite from Burris, but their scopes are good for the price and have not failed on any of my hunts.

I had a Weaver once, and it failed.

Some scopes are just too highly priced for my taste, and I get the job done with moderately priced scopes.
 
The only thing that the "old" Redfields have in common with the "new" ones is the name. I owned an older Redfield from the days when they were considered to be pretty much on a par with Leupold products. The "new" Redfields are made by Leupold ( as I understand it, they basically bought the name), and the Redfield scopes are Leupold's entry into the more economical scope market, made to compete with other brands in that price range. The advantage they have over the others has more to do with Leupold's legendary warranty than anything else... so that may be a significant matter to consider when making a choice.
