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
