[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 299259, member: 286"] I use: Leupold straight 10x with turrets on 22LR. Leupold 6-18 VX-II with turrets on 223 (formerly on 22-250). Leupold 6.5-20x40 VX-III, custom shop added turrets (about to go on 243.) Leupold 8.5x25x50 VX-III Long Range Target matte on 6.5-284 (1). Leupold Varix-III Premier Boosted to 35x Long Range Target Silver on 6.5-284 (2). Leupold 6.5x20x50 Varix-III Long Range Target on 7 WSM (second barrel, formerly 300 RUM). Leupold Varix-III Premier Boosted to 35x LRT Matte on 300 WSM (rechambered from 300 WBY). Leupold 8.5x25x50 Varix-III Long Range Target on 30-378 (second barrel). Ain't any of them safe queens. I am a little different than the hell for stout scope crowd. I can see till the end of the legal shooting times well enough with the above scopes. I don't pack 50 miles back into a ravine somewhere, my stuff is a bit too heavy, but if I did, I guess I would bring another scope, just in case. Takes a grand total of a shot to rezero. I don't belly crawl on rocks. If my scopes were to fail, which by the way knock on wood, none have, I am quite sure I would survive it. I simply like to get where I can see a far distance and shoot stuff. Now if I was using it as a matter of life or death, then the whole perspective would change and I would be all ears for the you can run over it with a truck scenarios. Until then it's gold ring for me. Everything I have is the closed cap type turrets, and I print out an avery label with 30 moa of drop data and wrap it around the turret. Any farther and I fire up Exbal. If I were to win any of the cream of the crop scopes previously mentioned in a raffle, I would gladly trade it away for 2 maybe 3 Varix-III Long Range target scopes (yeah even the old ones without the matched index lenses true color or what ever other relatively meaningless enhancements that have come out in the last few years.) Those are the longer ranged ones but for mid range I kind of like a Burris Fullfield with the ballistic plex mounted on a 260 for the wife out to about 500. That's my 2c [/QUOTE]
