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.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I'll start this one too, on that Remington 700BDL in .270 I have a high end Bushnell scope on it with not one problem.

RE: Which Scope?
 

My favorite of all my scope/gun combo's is my old M-7 4X Leupold on my M98 in 243

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Leupold M4 4.5x14-50 w/ illum. rect. on my Sendero 300rum. The recticle has already paid off on several nights.

RE: Which Scope?
 

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.

RE: Which Scope?
 

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......

3.5x10x50 Leupold Vari-X III on a savage 300wsm

RE: Which Scope?
 

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

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Leupold VX2 3-9x40 on my .308 Tikka

RE: Which Scope?
 

Leupold!

RE: Which Scope?
 

I am surprised to see only two Swarovski's listed (mine included). I have a Zeiss Diavari on my .270 and a Nikon on my .243 but my 30.06 which is my favorite rifle has what I consider to be my best scope.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Zeiss Conquest

RE: Which Scope?
 

A have always used Leupold untill the Zeiss Conquest came into "view"...;)

RE: Which Scope?
 

I'd go with a Burris

If you ever get a chance, look thru a NightForce. Then you will more than likely take back those words.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Oh yea night force a friend of mine uses them, Those in my opinion absolutely have to be the clearest scopes. I bought a Burris Black diamond 8-32x50mm side focus for my Rem M700 P in .308, for Low light coyote hunting. My friend has a Night force 5.5-22x56mm NXS on his Rem M700 VS in .308. Between his two pieces of property ran power lines which left a gap of about 50 yards wide between the 2 edges of tree line every 50 yards he has marker stick with a reflector on top of it to help with ranging out to a range of 500 yards. One evening we were hunting and it was almost an hour after sundown I could no longer see the 200 yard marker but my buddy could still see the 400 yard marker clearly. I asked if i could look through it and as big as day there was the 400 yard marker. Not to mention just as I cased my rifle, KaBOOM!! goes a .308 and a coyote drops just in front of the 200 yard marker.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I use a Weaver K-3 that's probably about 50 years old, and still works good. It even looks new too. There's nothing a little paint won't fix.:)

RE: Which Scope?
 

Ruger 77RLS .358Win. carbine with Leupold Vari-X II, 1-4x
Ruger 77RSI .308Win. with Leupold Vari-X III, 1-1/2 - 5x
Sako Mannlicher carbine, .308Win. with Leupold Vari-X III, 1-1/2 x 5x
Remington 700LSS .270 with Leupold Vari-X II, 2-7x
Ruger 77/22Mag with Leupold 3-9x compact
Ruger 10/22RSI model with Leupold 4x scope.

Guess you can tell, I like my Leupolds. Never had any problems. Great optics.
Have also used/liked some Weavers, a 1-3x on Marlin 30-30 was real good.
Redfields, Tasco, Bushnell - all okay, but I'll take Leupold, or the occasional Weaver.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Nikon's

RE: Which Scope?
 

What no Nightforce? No US Optics? No Unertl

I've been using a couple US Optics scopes in 10x...for various hunting jobs...I like them.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have 3 Leupolds and 2 "other" brands. Love the Leupolds! Would probably choose my Vari-X II 3-9x40mm with duplex as the current favorite. I also have a Vari-X III 4.5-14x40 and a VX-I 2-7x40 for other conditions/ guns.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have three Leupolds
VX-III 4.5x14 50mm B&C Reticle
Vari XII 4x12 40mm
M8-4x28mm EER

RE: Which Scope?
 

I use a Zeiss Diavari Z 3x12x56 and it is by far the finest scope I have ever looked through..I don't know of another that has as good low light gathering ability as it does.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Leupold VariXII 3x9x40 on my Remington 700 BDL .300 WinMag.
No problems at all & I love it.

RE: Which Scope?
 

One of my favorites is a Leupold 2-7x33 I have on my Knight DISC .50 muzzleloader.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a number of scopes. They are all very good scopes but the Nikon Gold is the brightest and clearest out of all of them.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Most of the scopes i own are Leupolds, but i also have a Zeiss, and a couple Williams, old weavers, old Lyman and others.

On my Krieghoff Drilling that i've been hunting with the most, i have a 1x6 B&L. It's a great scope!!! I wanted a Swarovski, but non would fit on my drilling the way "i wanted". Then i saw a new B&L that would fit, and it just had such "great glass" that i bought it!

That was many years ago, and i'm still happy with my B&L scope,

Drilling Man

RE: Which Scope?
 

Sorry guys.

But my vote goes to my two OLD Redfields. One is a Golden 5 Star, and the other is my Partner. The 5 Star is on my 7-08, and my partner is on my 270. Both of whick are Remington 700 BDL's.

RE: Which Scope?
 

If I remimber the queston right (which do you use most?) That would have to be my Night force NSX 12x42 NPRR redicul which ranges out to 800m. It is on my 700 PSS in 308 and I can hit annything in almost anny light. Oh it does help that the redicul can be eluminated.




Now for the price I would have to go wit zise,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe!

If price is not a cunsern, thin Nightforce all the way!

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Nikon Monarch 3-9X40 on my .30-06 Ruger77

RE: Which Scope?
 

Bushnell elite 3200:D

RE: Which Scope?
 

I use a lot of different scopes but the old Redfield Tracker which is 30-34 years old is always on my go to hunting rifle. Its been on 20 rifles or so. Its a 2x7x32. It been on many a hunt and bagged Moose Bear elk and deer as well as a couple pronhorns.

RE: Which Scope?
 

I have a Leupold VariX III on my three scoped rifles: Winchester Model 70 Featherweight .243, sportsterized .30-06 springfield, and custom .25-06 built on springfield .30-06 action with 24" medium weight barrel. I guess I have used the .25-06 most, but am planning on using the .243 more going forward, at least for awhile, since I just bought it new in fall 2003. I'll use the .243 and my son will use the .25-06 on a pronghorn hunt in mid-October (the .25-06 shoots easier because the custom rifle is substantially heavier in weight and had a good recoil pad whereas the .243 is very light and no recoil pad).

RE: Which Scope?
 

Leupold,
Perhaps not the absolute best in all areas; however, IMHO the best combination of eye relief, durability, reliability, reasonable optics, and price especially since I'm kind of fond of the friskier cartridges.

Did I mention durability and reliability and performance at showtime?

RE: Which Scope?
 

Wheres Burris and Nikon?!?!

RE: Which Scope?
 

I really like weavers scopes, the classics are affordable and the grand slam is very high quality IMO.

RE: Which Scope?
 

Tasco 3-9x40 World class works for me;)
