I am partial to the traditional 1" tube simple scopes, because I like traditional rifles and the big scopes with turrets look out of place on them.
I own a bunch of the dreaded leupolds for this very reason, the majority are 6x36, but have some 4X, 2X and 2-7 & 3-9 in the mix.
I also like the lightweight of the leupolds, although I am pretty sure the detracts from the reliability.
I have weeded through Leupolds for years to get the ones I trust. Hopefully they won't give up before i do.
All that being said I also have a bunch of 30mm dialable scopes for long range fun. I am not really a long range hunter.
A current favorite is the Athlon Midas tac. I hate protruding windage dials on any scope.
