Really great article Mule Deer. Another factor I use in selecting a scope is eye relief. Three to 3.5 inches of eye relief is not enough for me on a super light "mountain rifle" or a magnum cartridge rifle; some rifles are both. So I look mostly at Nikon, Leupold, and Sightron for this in moderate price range optics. I understand some of the Vortex and Hawke offerings have longer (approximately 4 inches) eye relief as well. I'm wondering if others have suggestions for reliably longer eye relief scopes?
