I made the awful mistake of selling my beloved Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10X50 #60 scope and for the money I can spend on a new one I can get any of the following options:

1.- Zeiss Victory HT 3-12X56 RZ800
2.- Swarovski Z5 5-25X52 BT#4
3.- Leica ER i 3-12X50 IBS BDC
4.- Swarovski Z6 1.7-10X42 BRH

I want the scope for my lightweight deer rifle. It´s a Sako Finnlight chambered in .270 WSM. I deal a lot with low light hunting situations. Specially because in the area I hunt big bucks come out at dawn and those 4-5 more minutes of scope light are precious, that´s why I bought the first victory HT in the first place. This rifle will be mainly used for 150-350 yd shots, maybe an ocasional 450-500 yd shot on a coyote

If you were me, which scope would you buy???

That's quite an impressive list. IIWY, I'd go with #2 followed by 1, 3, and 4.
