If you want something different, there's http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=556
I have one of those with an AK mount. Good, clear glass, and they're hell for stout by all accounts. And Kalinka has great customer service.

It's not only the boredom, but I've just not bee super impressed with my Fullfield. It's decent, but other than that, I don't have a lot of other great things to say about it. I'm pleased with it and that's why I'm keeping it on the rifle it's on. But I'm not so pleased with it that I'd go out and buy another. I have 3 Nikons and I like them a lot more than the Burris. But I'm looking for a little variety.
I've seen the Muellers on a lot of .22 rimfires and people say lots of good things about them. I've just never heard of anyone using them on larger calibers, especially a .300 Win. My only balk on those is whether they can handle the recoil and still hold zero. I've just never heard anything good or bad either way about them on larger bore rifles. People that shoot rimfire sure say they're good though.

Leupold Rifleman
3-9x40mm Leupold Rifleman can still be found for about $210. Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40mm around $190. These are both scopes I've use with satisfactory results and clear optics. Currently I'm spoiled by the purchase of a $512 Burris Signature Select in 6-24x44mm on my .223 Remington for the LONG shots. 3-9x40mm are the most practical scopes for most hunting situations. My other scope is a 4.5-14x40mm Nikon Buckmaster, so you see, I'm beyond practical. Yet, since I practice two to three times a week, I shoot fairly-well off-hand with 6X. cliffy
