Did you end up getting the Brunton scope? And what has been your experience. I recently bought a Brunton Echo 3x9x40 with the BDC reticle. So far, I have been very happy with it. To the eye, it's as clear and as good at gathering light as my Leupold VX 2 3x9. I put it on a 270 and sighting it in was the easiest sight in I've ever had. Adjustments moved the impact point just as they should have. The one sort of issue is that the MOA values for the three BDC bars implied in the literature are wrong. They imply values of 1.2, 6, and 9. I measure with a yd stick at 100yds values of about 3, 11, and 23.
