Scope recommendations

I’m looking at getting a new scope for a browning 300wsm. I’m between 3 Leupold vx5hd zeiss v4 or nightforce shv all of which are between the 3-16 power and illuminated. Any suggestions? I’ve got several leupolds don’t have a zeiss or nightforce.
 
I was right where you are last year this time. I'd never owned a Leupold or Nightforce, but had an old Zeiss conquest on my heavy stand rifle. I've been very pleased with the Zeiss. My criteria were only two--hold zero and let me see well enough to place a shot 30 minutes after sunset on a cloudy day. I ended up with the Leupold with 44mm objective and it is working well for me. I fretted over getting the larger objective but the 44 takes me to the end of legal time. I'm not totally sold on the firedot but maybe it will help more as I age. My only criticism is that it doesn't have "clicks" for the horizontal adjustment, but once I got it sighted in I've not moved it. Hope this helps some.
 
I use both Leupold and NightForce. The Leupold MK5HD is wonderful. Whatta Hobby!

Vortex Razor LHT 3-15. Great mag range, excellent glass, excellent tracking, very well-done illumination, locking elevation turret, great reticle and low-weight for its features. I have 5 and they've tracked 100%.
