It seems like I have lived about half of my life in elk camps, and most of the experienced hunters use Leupold scopes, with Swarovski making a strong showing. I can remember a couple of guys with Zeiss scopes, but not the version that is made for the American market.

I have been in Africa a few times and it is reversed there. Lots of Swarovski scopes with Leupold making a strong showing. Reliability is most important.
