i'm no fan of burris, but must admit you can do a lot worse than burris. also look into sightron - very comparable to burris in every respect, and great warranty. the 2 drawbacks to both sightron and burris is the eye-relief is critical, and the adjustments don't feel positive (however, once the scope is zeroed the adjustment feel won't matter).
my first choice is a leupold 4.5-14, second would be leupold 4-12, tie for third would be burris/sightron 4.5-14 or 3-12.
i prefer the higher power scopes, but i live and hunt the prairie where i can make use of the higher powers.
