My #1 scope without a doubt is Premier 3-15X50 Gen2 XR, It is extremely clear, always holds and returns to zero, Built damn tough and I love the turret design. Edited by Sniper6 - August/22/2010 at 22:59 |

I don't have any really expensive scopes, but the one the I like the best is my Nikon Team Primos. My Zeiss conquest looks to have better glass, but I haven't had a chance to use it much yet. I've been able to use my Team Primos on both elk and a black bear.

S&B 1.5-6X42 Zenith #9 w/ Flash Dot by a nose over a few other favorites. An incredible scope.
But, I have several other scopes I also love right up there with the S&B, so that's likely to change periodically depending on which one I'm using at the time. |

Swaro A/V 3-10x42, CFII gave me a great deal on a samplelist scope.

hands down, Conquest 3-9 w/Z600 closely followed by 3.5-10x44 Zplex
What I really need though is a genuine mil/mil something like SS as i keep drifting towards long- distance shooting for fun. Have more scopes right now than rifles that need 'em so need to get more rifles, too. Just can't help myself- keep trading stuff... not sure why that is. If I had a Swaro, that would be my fave...

Hey! I don't think anyone can reasonably bash you for having a VX3 as they are fine scopes for the niche they fill. They aren't quite as nice as a Diavari or some other top shelf scope, but you can buy a whole handful of VX3's for the price of a Z6, so it's all relative. |

mmmmmm. On the contrary. You can buy almost 2 Monarchs for the price of a VX-3 or maybe 3 Vipers for the price of a VX-3 and still have a better better glass on your rifles. VX-3´s are extremely over price IMO There are cheaper better scopes out there on the market. If I had the money for a Z6 I would definetly buy it, but i wouldn´t buy another VX-3 for nothing in the world. I alredy own a VX-III and I´m not planning to get rid of it, but i wouldn´t buy another one for sure.

From reliable reports on this website the VX-3 is a significant improvement over the older VX-III and the price hike was minimal. |

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I agree, Mike... I don't own a VX3 but I've looked through them side/side with some more expensive Euro's and the VX3s are pretty fair scopes. They're certainly not Diavari class, but good nevertheless.
Still, Prieto is right about Monarchs being less expensive than VX3's, but Monarchs aren't as good, either. Is the VX3 worth the extra money over a Monarch? Is the Z6 worth the price difference over a VX3? One might not be far wrong by saying that Leupold offerings are pricey for what you get. So what... |

None of the top three of my favourite scopes (that I own) are listed.
In no particular order: SWFA SS 3-9x42 IOR 3-18x42FFP SWFA SS 10x42HD There are quite a few other scopes that I like, and to be honest, I do not own any scopes that I do not like a fair bit, but those are my top three. ILya

I still have on of those, except with a #4 reticle. Unfortunately, I do not have a rifle for it, so I will probably sell it. That kinda sucks, but I do not like to "store" scopes for the heck of it. ILya
