    The Zeiss has the best glass.
    They are all good.

    I have a Sightron S2 in 3x9. I am using it on a Savage muzzleloader, cranking out 3,200 foot pounds.
    I have had it for 4 years, it takes that pounding with no problem.
    Very bright, very accurate adjustments.

    Sorry have no base of reference to compare to the other 2.

    The Sightron, though a young company is a very good one. That would be my pick of the 3 you listed. Though I would opt for a Burris Signature in 3-12x oe a Fullfield II in 4.5-14, to stay reasonably priced. Other than that it would be a NightForce NXS.

    Best

    I use a Sightron SII 4.4x14 on my 204 Ruger. For the price it is hard to beat. Can't comment on the others.

    The Burris Signature Select will trump all three.

    All good options. Quality order is Zeiss, Sightron, Leupold. (IMO) I use mostly Burris and Sightron scopes and am very satisfied with both. (also own nikon and leupold scopes but prefer burris and sightron)

    Get the scope that best suits your eye and hunting/shooting conditions and then compromise. From your choices, all meets my minimum optical clarity requirement and other features. However, eye relief is critical for my old eyes and hunting/shooting conditions and I find Leupold's eye reliefs to be very forgiving. Most scopes on average has an eye relief of 3.0" - 3.5". My VX-III has 4.7".

    Try them side by side - most gun stores have the tool to mount 2 scopes for side by side comparison.

    BTW, the new V3s have better optics than the VX-IIIs.

    Good luck and happy safe hunting/shooting.
