No experience with the Nikon. I do have the Bushnell XLT on a couple of Marlin 336 and it is a good scope for the money, have been very satisfied with them. Also I have had business with Bushnell customer service on different items and they have been excellent to deal with.
The higher end Bushnell's, like the Tactical Elites are awesome optics. I have not had such great luck with anything else in their line. I do like some Nikons, even though their reliability and customer service leaves something to be desired. That is why for lower end, I stick to Burris, or Vortex Viper.
Do keep in mind that the repeatability of the adjustments, in ALL lower end scopes, will also leave something to be desired. For those who use one sight in, and do not dial in windage and elevation, that is not a problem.
I have no experience with the Bushnell Trophy XL line, but am reasonably happy with their higher end scopes. If I had to do over again, I would go with Vortex or Burris where I bought Bushnell.

Once again, an honest Q: WHAT'S THE AP?
Some background: Bushnell's products have always been pretty much garbage across the entire line since the early 80's.
More confusion: Nikon's (& many xlnt 'formerly US-made') scopes are now "produced" & sourced from china.
