So far I am very impressed with this scope.  It was just to good of a deal to pass up.

Check the Simmons Aetec 4-14 x 44. Great Scope, you can find them around 189.00. I have 2, very clear, and holds zero all day.

I have been impressed with my bushnell legend 3-9x50. I have dropped the gun twice on the scope, taken it off and dropped it and its still zeroed. :o It takes the recoil of a 338 win with no problem either.

I did alot or research to determine what brand/power scope to go with on a calling rifle.  I decided on a 3x9 so I have good field of view on 3 power.  Also, you want to get a good eye relief and mount so you can operate your charging handle without problems.  I am very happy with my set up.

Got a great deal on a used ZEISS that is in new condition. Clearest scope I've ever looked through.  Clearer than my VXIII I have on my 7mm Rem Mag.

I went with a lightweight 16", so keeping with that theme I stuck a low power variable on mine. Browning 2-7x32. It's basically a Bushnell 3200. This is my 3rd 3200 and I love em. I had no problem hitting a coyote sized rock at 250 with this scope set on 2x.

That may be the funniest thing I've read tonight. Nice!!! I can't hit a damn thing with my AR.

I use a 4.5 X 14 Nikon buckmaster with bdc reticle. I like the scope but a proper cheek weld is difficult on the AR. Just got a cheekrest from midway to fix that.

Looks like we all use the same Varminter
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
