I've killed stuff out to 1340 yards with a 4.5-30 6500 Elite. OPtically, they are not as good as some of the $1500-$2500 glass but they are pretty reliable.

S&B PMII 10X.

Three LRHS. (2)3-12 and (1)4.5-18

My main hunting rifles have Bushnell 6500 Elites, 4.5x30. The rest have Zeiss Conquest 5x25s.

Same here.

Nightforce SHV

Burris xtr2 5-25 on one and a mark6 3-18 on the other.

NF 3.5x15x56 MLR

Another vote for the SWFA 4-9x MQ.

Nightforce.

presently, my 300wsm has a Leupold VX-3 3-10x50, but I just purchases a VX-6 4-18x50 Firedot that was on sale that will go on it.

My VX-3 has 650 yds on the CDS dial.
Hoping the VX-6 will get me to 800+ on the CDS.

I'm not really a long range shooter, but after shooting at 600 at target I felt comfortable enough that I would have shot at an elk at that range (only if necessary).
My shot came at 180 yds. No need for the dial.

It's never necessary. It's what we want to do and it's fun. That's why we go hunting: For fun. Getting stuff from the store is way cheaper.

2 x Weaver Tactical, 4-20x50, mil-mil.
1 x Weaver Tactical, 3-12x50, mil-mil.
Reasonably good glass and I like the pop-up locking turrets that stay put in a saddle scabbard or an Eberlestock pack.

1 x Bushhell, 4200, 6-24x50, mil-mil,
1 x Bushnell, 4200, 3-12x50, mil-mil, but those rifles get used infrequently.

Night Force x4

Nightforcex6. Swarovski z6x 4 Leupold mark4's x? Mark8 x 6 Kahles x8. All great but 1 Leupold that they replaced . Don't like .125 moa scopes

I put a SHV F1 mil/mil on my STW and have been very happy with it so far. The glass is really good for a scope in this price range and it tracks like a champ

Lots of Leupold's!

Mostly versions of the VX-3 & 3i's in 4.5-14x40, but a few 3.5-10's as well.

A couple VX-3-18's as well, but my dedicated long range 300 Win has a 6.5-20x50 MK-4 ER/T with a TMR reticle. It's one of my favorite scopes...

Running the Zeiss HD5 3-15 with Kenton turrets on a 300wsm and a 257 Weatherby.Farthest shot was 650 yards with a 257 bee.
