RE: which scope is best??
None of the above..............
Get a Leupold VX-I or VX-II, in 3x9x40...It's the last scope your 30-06 will ever need....
The problem with the Rifleman....Let's say you want to have a certain reticle installed or the parallex changed (which I have done on all of my Leupolds)...
Leupold will do that, but not to a Rifleman....
