I use the Bushnell elite series because of the "rainguard" feature and the ruggedness has never let me down yet. I mainly hunt in cold weather Saskatchewan where the chance of breathing and fogging your ocular lens or getting snow on either lenses is highly likely and even Leupold or other high-end scopes do not compare with the "rainguard" feature in my honest opinion. i simply wipe the lens with my gloves or blow on it and i can immediately bring my gun up for a shot and know i will be able to see through it.

Default Which one

Guess it depends on what you can afored. I bevieve in quality, but sometimes the dollar has its say in this.
Getting into small bore shoots at a local gun club. There are a lot of different scopes on the line, you can tell by what you see who has the time an money to play an how serious they are about it. So i'm one of the little guys who likes to shoot but has to watch the dollar. Think i have a fairly nice set up to compete with them.

Swift 4/12x40 on 46b mossey
ossprey 6/24x50 on rem 510 targetmaster
both are good clear scopes an didn't break my wallet, plus i think i get savings by shopping a natchez shooting supply.
But everyone has there picks

I shoot Zeiss Conquest now.. Love the scope, love the fixed eye relief and the crystal clear optics..
I have sold most of my Leupold's and bought Zeiss to replace them. I have a couple Leupolds left but most are gone now.

Each to their own, but I have had good results.. And for the money, can't beat em...

Leupold 3-9x50 on a Tikka T3 Lite in .270 WSM. This Is the first gun with a Leupold on it. I really wanted a Zeiss but if my wife payed any attention to credit card statements I wouldn't be typing right now.

I really like the Zeis and other hight end scopes but i just can't get myself to spend the money on them. I have Nikon Monarchs on most of my guns and have never had an issue.
