I have Bushnell DOA, Leupold Sabre,and Nikon Omegas. I much prefer the Nikon over the others. I really like the circles and I can taylor a load to the gun real easy by either centering the circle or using the bottom of the circle for holdover or using the top of the circle for a 6 oclock hold. I don't find the scope cluttered at all. Well worth the extra money for the Nikon over the Bushnell.

Both the Bushnell and the Omega have better listed eye relief, but the Diamondback has a significant advantage in field of view, 44.6 - 14.8' @ 100yds versus 33 - 11' (Bushnell) and 25.2 - 8.4' (Nikon).

"I have the Bushnell 3-9x40 Trophy DOA 250"
That's the one I was referring to, have not looked through one though. I almost bought one, but didn't. If I ever get a chance out west with my ML, I'll wish I had. I like a lot of eye relief, if you could, would you try to measure actual eye relief and report back?
I know published and actual can be different. Thanks.

I have a friend who has the Nikon Omega and he loves it. I believe the Nikon has slightly better light-transmission than the Bushnell.
If I personally had to choose between the two and price was not a factor I would get the Nikon.
Go to a local sporting goods store and have the salesperson take you outside with both scopes and look thru them at DUSK.
