Your choice of optics

Zeiss 3-12x56 (2), Zeiss 6.5-20x50, Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-10x56, Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50. Leupold 3.5-10x50 VX-L. All are fine scopes without a doubt but the Trijicon Accupoints are my favorites in almost every category.
 
Zeiss Conquest 3x9
Burris Signature 3x9 Electro-Dot (2)
Burris Signature Select 3x12 Ballistic Plex
Leupold VX-3 3.5x10
Leupold VX-2 4x12
Leupold VX-2 3x9
Millett DMS-1

Very impressed with the Conquest, great scope.
Signatures are really nice. Love the BP reticle.
Starting to lean away from the Leupolds a little.

Would not be afraid to try:
Bushnell Elite 6500 and 4200
Nikon Monarch
 
Rem 700 - Nikon Buckmasters 6-18x BDC reticle. I lov this scope for anything past 100 yards but I would go with the 4x12 next time.

Ruger m77 Luepold VXIII Great scope

Weatherby vanguard .300 WIN mag Lupold rifleman. Good scope for the money

on one of my S&W MP-15T's I've got a Trijicon ACOG which is total jackrabbit domination.
 
I lean mostly toward the Japan made optics. I have owned several Leupolds in the past but now sell them. Over priced in my opinion and the large change in eye relief when cranking up power is a huge distraction and draw back.

1 NF 3.5-15
1 Weaver T36
1 Simmons Gold Medal Match 6.5-20
1 Simmons V-Tac 4.5-14 FFP reticle
1 Simmons 44 Mag 6.5-20
4 Nikon Monarchs
2 Nikon Buckmasters
2 Elite 4200
2 Elite 3200

For my money the best buys are the Nikons, Elites and Weavers.
 
3 new Zeiss Conquests in the last couple of weeks:

3-9x40 (arrived today)
3.5-10x44
4.5-14x44 Side focus

Converting to Leupolds but have a couple of other brands as well.

VX-L 4/5-14 50mm B&C
VX-III 3.5-10
VX-III 2.5-8 (2)
VX-II 4-12 AO
Leupold Ultimate Slam 3-9
Nikon Monarch UCC (Japan) 3.3-10 AO
Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16 AO
Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9 (2)
Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12 AO
Burris FF II 3-9
Kahles AH 3.5-10 50mm
 
I have several different ones. Bushnell Elite 3200, Leupold Vari XIII, original Simmons Aetec, Weaver Grand Slam, Weaver Rimfire, Leupold Vari XII. Had good luck with all of them.
 
If money grew on trees, every rifle I own would have a 4.5-14x44 Zeiss on it with turrets. my .257 wby has that exact scope, my 270wsm has 4.5-14x50 with turrets. All the rest have Leupolds and I like them alot too, and have no complaints about them but IMHO, the Zeiss is head and shoulders above the rest.

When I worked at Sportsmans Warehouse, I sold Zeiss probably 3 or 4 to 1 when people didnt have their minds already made up.
 
I have 1 Nikon Monarch, Bushnell, 2 Elite 4200, 3 Elite 3200, and 2 Legends. The Legends actually have better light gathering than the 3200. Weaver Grand is on my list on my list of scopes to try on my next new rifel. It appears to be a very fine scope.
 
I just ordered a Nikon Rifle hunter/and rifle hunter range finder from cabelas for 281.00 in combo sale. This will go on my Marlin XL 7 in 30-06 . I have Simmons, and Bushnell scopes on my rifles and shotguns!!
 
Bushnell 6500's and 4200's have fantastic glass and repeatable turrents.

The old Burris Signature series are fantastic scopes, very rugged for a longer scope.

Older Pentax lightseeker 30's are great.

I screw on target knobs from dawn to dusk, have to be great scopes to stand up to the use.
 
I've got most brands covered. Currently I have Bushnell, Burris, Tasco, Mueller, Millet, Leupold, Sightron, and Nikon. I have powers ranging from 1X -14.5X , lately I've been buying all low magnification scopes the higher power scopes I purchased were great at the range but not practical in the field for the Northeast. Out of the group my favorites are my Bushnell Elites and the Burris' scopes in 2X-7X magnification ranges. The only scope I've purchased recently that I didn't like was a Nikon ProStaff 2X-7X , I've always heard they were a great scope but the one I bought is not, during low light conditions you quickly see which scope is the best.

If you add electronic sights into the mix I prefer my Eotech and Bushnell Holosights over everything.
