Sightron S1 vs. Bushnell 3200

Anyone have any experience with Sightron (or Bushnell) scopes?

I'm thinking about topping my Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in 7x57mm with a Sightron S1 3-9x40 ($139), or possibly a Bushnell 3200 3-9x40 ($179) -- or even a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 ($179).

I wish I had more to spend on a higher quality scope, but that isn't the case right now and it doesn't have the luxury of iron sights.

If I decide to take it hunting, any shots will be 200 yards or less.

Thoughts? Opinions?

  I have not used Sightron, though they are said to be a decent scope for the money. I have used a number of Bushnells and again for the price they have been servicable and durable. Then you said the magic word: Burris. That would be my hands down choice. Burris is my top pick among US made (or Asian made for US companies) scopes. It is obvious from your post you know the higher end scopes are the best choice, but of the three you propose, if I can't talk you into saving a little longer, go with the Burris. JustC will be along any time to agree with me.

  [:D]Burris fullfield, then Elite 3200, then sightron.
  
  I have heard that the sightron has a no B.S., replacement warranty,..
  
  My burris atop a 7mm mag,..has performed flawlessly. Great glass,..thick main tube construction,...maintains zero[8]
  
  
  
  why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
  Got Balistics?
