 4 Scope Choices

Ok.. I would like to start by saying I'm not looking for an opinion on the ONE scope any of you have tried. I'm looking for an opinion on one of the listed scopes vs. any of the others listed. I found out that posting on these forums, sometimes you get some bias toward one scope because the owner has that one, and not any of the others.

I'm considering 4 scopes, just not sure which.

Scope A) Wonders Optics (WOTAC) 4.5-14 x 44FFP.
Scope B) Darkops Countersniper 4-16 x 50 Contract Overrun
Scope C) Vortex Viper HS 4-16 x 44
Scope D) Nikon Monarch 4-16 x 42 side focus

Mostly concerned with which scopes allow the best light, which are best during low-light, most durable, best focus at higher powered zoom, etc... Essentially, I want the most bang for my buck; and it is hard to compare all these together, as they don't have most of these at the local Bass Pro. Would really value the opinions of anyone who has used a combination of these scopes and can help distinguish the pros/cons between them.

Thanks in advance!

Countersnipers are trash. Do not waste your money on them. Also, that "contract overrun" nonsense is pure bullshit.

i just heard that on another forum.. I've been trying to research and find something quality; from everything I saw, they had great reviews. I guess I'll throw that idea on the scrap heap just because there are too many mixed opinions on it for me to potentially waste money. Maybe a better post would be "What are my best options for a $350 - $500 scope that I will be using from 100 - 600 yds?"

Not to sound judgmental or anything, but you had a countersniper in your list. Believe it or not, but if you list what you WANT in a scope (price range & magnification range) ... people who have MUCH experience will give you their honest opinion on what meets your needs.

Creating an uninformed list and restricting comparison to just what's on that list may be counter productive.

The Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 is the best that is on that list.
