The power and size of the front lens are not as important as the quality of the scope.
Buy the highest quality you can afford. A high quality 4 power at $250 would be much better buy than a less quality variable at $250.

Guntech has it right!
Icpaintballer,
Since you live and hunt on the Island you want WATER PROOF!!!
Leupold does this better than any other....I have several failures to back this up.
You are far better off with a fixed 4 power than a variable Bushnell.
If you hunted only in the interior, then perhaps you could get away with a lower end Bushnell.
Bushnell+Vancouver Island=Fog+Failure

X-man incase u didnt notice i wanna keep the price range under $200, i dont think leupold makes a scope in my price range.
The bushnell Dusk and Dawn is water and fog proof.

I learned my lesson the hardway, twice. A low end Tasco and a Bushnell both cost me deer. They fogged on the inside even after working flawlessly in pouring rain on previous trips. I recall my zero wandering off on the Tasco which required me having to check it and then never having 100% confidence in it. Could have been mounts, don't cheap out on those either.
There is nothing wrong with buying a used Leupold. There warranty is lifetime and second to none, serviceable in Canada. Scratches on the tube don't matter. You should be able to pick up a Leupold M8 fixed power in 4 or 6X or a VXII in 3x9 for $200-250.

I dont necessaraly want a fixed power.
