Coyote guns

22-204 Sightron 1.5x6
6x45  Leupold VX-II 1x4
25-204 Nikon Monarch 1x4

Big Game

375 Win. K-1.5
35 Whelen Weaver V-3
300 Savage Leupold VariX-II 1x4

FOV and clarity are much more important to me than power.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Redfield 3x9x40mm peep sight cross hair retical on the Remington model 700 BDL 243win.
Lyman Alaskan 4x on the Remington model 721 300 H&H.
Burris Euro-Diamond 2.5x10x44mm Ballistic Plex retical on the Remington model 700xcr 270wsm.
Tasco 2.5x10x44mm Mil-Dot on the Marlin 980V 22lr.
Millet Red Dot on the Ruger Super Redhawk 7-1/2" 44mag.
Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.

My .458 Lott sports a Leupold 2.5x20mm  I've found it's the only scope that will reliably hold up to the recoil!

My medium bores wear a 1.5-6

My LR rifle sports a 3.5-10x40mm with turrets

Everything else is typically a fixed 6 or 2-7x33

For the most part I don't seem to benefit from anything over 9 power in any of the hunting I do. Although I do own a 12 power scope.

I have a CZ 550 American Safari Magnum in .458 Lott with a 1.5x5 Leupold VXIII.

The rifle I use the most is my Weatherby .270 Win with a 3x9 Leupold VXII.  I am a Leupold guy and all eith of my rifles have Leupolds.
