Scopes:
1. Meopta MeoPro 3-9x42 ZPlex
2. Meopta MeoPro 3-9x42 BDC/a
3. Meopta MeoPro 3.5-10x44 ZPlex
Rifles:
A. Rem 700SS Mountain Rifle in 7mm-08.
B. Rem 700 BDL 30-06.
C. Rem 700 SPS BDL in 270Win
All the scopes weigh about the same so not concerned about that. These are all set it and forget it rigs. 99% of my hunting is whitetails at 100yds or less with an occasional elk hunt in Colorado. I still have a pronghorn hunt I want to do as well. I am curious how others would decide to solve this puzzle.

Put the one you regard as the best on the rifle you use the most. They’re so similar, I don’t see any particular advantage to any of them.
What fresh Hell is this?

I'd be more worried about hunting with 700's than those good scopes. Snork. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

But any combination will work for either application. I would put more thought into using the proper/best bullet for your intended target, (whitetails, elk, pronghorn, mule deer.)

I'd put the BDC scope on whichever you expect to be your 1st choice for the pronghorn and flip a coin where the other 2 should go.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
