which is the best scope for my new Remington .700 BDL 30-06

I'm wondering if you left out leupold out on purpose?

i forgot, about leupold sorry about that, i edited it and i added leupold

For the money I'm able and willing to spend on a scope, my Nikon Monarch is all I need. It is definately clearer and brighter than my Leupold Vari-X-II. If money were no object then I would pick the Swarovski. You should probably post specific models for each scope company as it'snot fair to compare a low end Bushnell to a Swarovski.

I thought Leupold was the only scope made....

Here's the 3X9 VXIplus elle turret...on my '06.

I can like a turreted M8 6X as well.

Wow! Tasco and Swaro in the same poll?

Should add...

I bought exactly one Leupold Rifleman.

Then found out the Custom Shop wouldn't install turrets on it.

Good scope andit held up finemounted on a 300 Ultra....but I'm a turret kind of guy.

The swarovski A-line is in a totally different class than the other scopes listed.

I partial to Leupolds, but a friend just bought a Cabelas Alaskan Guide scope that is awesome. Cost around $300.

I think your price range is too large to get an accurate answer. You would probably be better off giving a price range you are looking in, and then asking for recommendations for a few scopes in that range. If the ones you posted are the choices though, pick the Swarovski - the others are not even close.
