What optic tops your scoped hunting rifles?
I have two. Mine is a Leopold Vari-XII bought in 1997.
The other one I own is the same type bought in the '60s or 70's by my father for his Savage Mdl 99F which he gave to me.
I need another. I have two rifles that share the same scope. Pain to always re-zero.
Trying to get on the no fly list, one post at a time.
Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8. Never have had a problem with it.

After today, it's all historical.
I'm to poor for Leopold. I've got a Bushnell Sportsman zeroed in for deer season on my Mossberg 243.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!
Everything I have has Leupold...course, I traded for/bought before prices went into the ozone.

Nothing but Leupold on my centerfires. Love to shoot the big stuff.
I am sitting in my angry chair!

I have a few others but hell its held zero for almost 30-40 years so its note worthy and ok by me !
Reidfield Sportview-in any variation. They are hard to find with Leopold, Nikon and the higher priced Bushnell's now controlling the market. I missed a buck of a lifetime with a Simmons 3X9X42 zeroed in a 100 and took a 250 yard shot by holding over the buck's pump station. (100 yards because we were hunting heavy brush) and I swore never again. So I bought the scope. Dopes out to 1000 yards. Too pretty to put on any old rifle so bought the 7mm Rem Mag Weather Mark V as an excuse. My brother just returned from the deployment as a Marine sniper and to show off, he hit a 3 inch grouping at 750 yards. I told my golden rule. If I can't visually see the buck with the naked eye, I do not glass him. So he doped it at dead zero at 400. I can consistently bench rest shoot (paperpunch) a 1 inch group and without a rest or resting against whatever I can, my knee usually, I'm good for a 4 inch group at 400. All are lethal. The Nikon Monarch is a good scope and my son uses it on his custom left handed Weatherby 7mm-08. He can see better than I can and made a 250 dead as a doornail, wallhanger whitetail buck shot last year. My father says a good scope is one that does not make the wife mad, satisfies your requirements and puts meat on the table. Just my two centsOriginally Posted by btcave
3x9x50 simmons blazer I got for $25 on clearance at wally world, works fine on the $280 marlin
Well, several different ones. A couple of Leupold 2x7 Vari X II's, a Leupold 1x5, Leup 4x, 4 Nikon 3x9 Prostaffs (three are BDC), Nikon 2x7 Prostaff BDC... that's it for the "big game rifles".

I have Simmons and Bushnells...TASCO's are craptacular.
