[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 414436, member: 1863"] For me it is leupold. I have a few Leupold scopes on my rifles and cannot find any fault with them. I even use one on my 12 gauge slug gun and it has kept it's zero after several hundred 3" magnum slugs. I also have several Nikon's on my 7mm-08 calibers and down. They work great also. I have one Simmons that I like and I put it on a .22 for small game and plinking. I like the old Redfield Trackers from the late 1980's early 90's. I still have two left that are on "truck" guns. My binos are Stiener and they are pretty impressive for the price. I try not to save nickles by skimping on optics. My own rule of thumb is that whatever I pay for the rifle I spend a minimum of half of that on a scope. Five hundred dollar rifle gets a minimum of a 250 dollar scope. This will usually put you into quality glass. I see guys around here who have a 1,200 dollar rifle and will pop a 60.00 tasco or simmons scope on it..........I get a chuckle out of this. They would have been better off spending 600 on a good Rem. 700 BDL and putting a Leupold Vari-X III on it for the same price. Most rifles out of the box can shoot better than the guy pulling the trigger can make it shoot anyway. [/QUOTE]
