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.

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

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 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.

It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

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...
