My NIKON BUCKMASTER withstood my BIG A$$ falling flat on my back {landing on a big flat rock} with it being strapped to me (backpack style rifle sling) and I still made a 150 yard+- shoot with the same p.o.i. I don't know anything about the other 2 scopes, but that is my experiance w/ a Nikon Buckmaster. And there was no time to re-zero the scope, since the fall was on the way to the Deer Stand.

Burris
Nikon
Vortex
I have no experience with the Vortex but have heard great things about them. My only question about them would be how long are they going to be around if you need any warrenty work done?
Burris and Nikon have been around long enough and have proven themselves over the years and I dont see any signs they are going to go belly up any time soon. Now Nikons customer service leaves alot to be desired but at least they are there if you need them.
With Votex being the new kid on the block its just hard for me to rank them higher than the other two that have proven themselves for decades now. I am sure its a great scope though.

I had a similar dilema this summer and ended up getting a Vortex Viper to sit on my 25-06. I will be updating my 7MM mag with the same scope.
great clarity and light transmision.
