Wow...so closed minded, i bought the pentax 65ED last year, they also do the 80ED, you can read the reviews for yourself they are 95% as clear as a 3K swarvo, or Leica....many opinions here but thats my 2 cents, as for rifle scopes you cant go wrong with either of the three you named, as for Leupold I have the 4.5-14x56 VX-3L, its 1,079 at cabelas and a very good scope, if you going the Nikon the buckmasters series are a starting poind i personally recommand the monarch series scopes, for the bushnell i have the 4-12x40 elite mil dot and love it, very clear crip and nice looking scope, bushnell Elite series is probably the best bang for the buck for a nice scope. If you decide to go cheaper with a tasco or simmons sure they look ok in the light but its when dusk approaches that the higher end scopes earn their keep, also on the lower end scopes you will fine the higher you zoom them out the less clarity you have. Im not knockin the scopes, we all have a budget and all scopes will get the job done in the end it comes down to how much $$ you want to spend.
