Bob I haven't bought a scope in the last ten years that wasn't either a fixed 4 or 6. But Scotty's VX-6 looks pretty good, and Matt had a Swarovski last fall that had some great glass. I've also looked through some Nightforce scopes and they look high quality.
I don't know about dropping $1500 on a scope when the 6x36 will get everything done for $450 (with Aluminas), but I might be able to talk myself into $1K.
If it matters I'm not much of a turret turner. I tried M1s once and they didn't grow on me. I can see the practical use of turrets for training, but I have not missed an opportunity at killing an animal that was far enough away to need turrets, but still close enough to have a reasonable chance. I did once encounter a bull at 750 yards, but he was moving, so turrets wouldn't have mattered. His antlers looked good in the sun though! I'm sure had he been within 400 yards I would have sent one, hoping like hell he'd stop for a second.
