Vortex Razor HD 11-33, Viper HD 15-45, or Bushnell Legend HD 15-45

I've done a lot of reading and narrowed it down to these 3. This purchase will be for our club and used only for matches out to 1000yds. I was leaning towards the Razor but the higher mag of the other 2 have me rethinking it a bit. Will the Razor HD be that much better than the Viper HD? Will the Bushnell be that far behind the Vortex spotters? Last one I bought turned out to be a 300 dollar hunk of crap and I really dont want to do that again. Thanks!

I own the Bushnell and have to admit that even at 200 yds it is hard at best and impossible if there is any mirage to pick up 308 hits on paper.
I bought the product after reading reviews that it would be capable of picking up hits at that short a distance.
However my experience with the product has not lived up to that expectation.
I do not own the other two scopes but I did want to give you my input on the Bushnell.

You've come to the right place....I might have some valid input and experience. Don't buy the little Razor for your needs, it's ok for hunting, but a little painful to look through for long periods like spotting at matches, your spotters will hate you. Of those 3 you mention then the Viper HD without a doubt.

If you can swing it then the big Razor is even better, but that Viper HD is the best in its price point imho and you won't be sorry.
