Which Scope do you like
 

This is a fun survey on scopes where you DON'T have Leupold or Nikon as a choice! You have to pick another brand and give reasons why you like it (or "would" like it). I'm a Meuller fan myself. And you can't pick a German scope unless you can or would actually pay that much. :arms:

Leupold?????????????)Remember OTo Jim

I use Burris at the Signature Select "level" (mid way up the line).

Good company with excellent background within the Optics industry, founder dating back to the original Redfield line.

Wanted a BDC reticle; use Ballistic Plex (illuminated) - very few lines other than crosshairs.

Lifetime warrant.................buy it once.


Put the 4X-16X 44MM on all my bolt guns, so that I always get the exact same sight picture no matter which caliber I'm using (not a real bright guy, so I wanted to dumb it down when I'm in the field).


Lastly, IMO when you buy a MAJOR brand name, you're paying in part for the box (name) it comes in.

I appreciate good glass...and I get a kick out of messing with the "premium" brands like Swarovski, Zeiss, S&B, Leica, Nightforce, etc.

Of all the scopes I've ever used,Zeiss is my favorite...:hail:

I've had a Zeiss Diavari 3x12x56 for about 6 years, cost about $1200 when I bought it. I don't think I would pay the now price of about $1900 for another one tho. Nice scope, but between the upper classes of Bushnell and Nikon I don't know if there is an appreaciable difference for the money.

I appreciate good glass also..................I just don't have a spare $1,000 or $2,000 to get the same "kick" out of it. :wave:

We should all be so fortunate ! :hail:


Good for you though..........................

What! No Leupold?

Sightron for long range hunting and shooting. Weaver for everything else.

Leupold and Weaver. I have had some good straight power Burris scopes, I have a 6X Burris on my coyote rifle.

I'm not fortunate or wealthy...just a working stiff like most everybody else. What I do is select what I want based on features, warranty, reputation, cost, etc. I then save for however long necessary to buy it. If I like it I keep it. If not, I sell it and try something else. That's just my approach...fewer and better is my motto. FWIW.

I voted "Bushnell" based upon the wording of the question ... what would I "buy and why?" I am a glass freak for sure. I have a top of the line Swarovski on 3 of my rifles and top of the line Zeiss on another. These 3 scopes are superb, but now approaching $2K. I have a Bushnell Elite 4200. Came on a used ML that I bought. Other than being a loooong tubed scope, I have nothing but good words to say about the value of this particular scope. The top of the line Elites are in my opinion one of the best, if not the best, values out there.

i like my vortex but just got a weaver grandslam,it just works and has a longer eye relief
