Default Which Scope?

Now that we know the gun poll, which scope do you currently use on that gun. We don't need to know what you think is best, just what your currently using on your most used rifle. As I, many of us have many....list your most popular on your favorite rifle.?

As requested by 8mm/06

I know I may have missed some so as I see them added, I'll add them to the poll. Click other and list them so I can add them. Thanks.

As we all submit our votes, please include any pertinent info you may have about how good or bad your experience has been with some of the scopes you have liked or hated.

Grew up with Tasco and Redfiled and they worked great. Graduated to Leupold and loved them. But I have to tell you that if you ever look thru a Zeiss at sun up or near sun down, you will never never never want to use any other scope. Took me two years to buy my first one, and now I own 3 - all 44mm objective ( Remember the eye can only process 42.2 mm of light transmission thru a 30mm tube at one time). Lifetime Transferable warranty - What more could you ask for. Someone told me that you should invest the same amount of money in your scope as you do your weapon, so I did... an I am not a wealthy person. Zeiss has optics figured out.

My $.02 worth......

Zeiss has become my scope of choice. Their optics are excellent and they're very rugged as well.
