3-9x40 Mark AR with the 1/2 MOA turrets and Mil-Dot. Nothing it can't do.... it was CDS before CDS was cool....and has a better reticle for handling wind. I've busted a few 1/4 MOA Target Turrets, and an M1..... but the 1/2 MOA clicks seem indestructible.

I like magnification and 30mm tubes with side focus. My favorites are VX3 6.5-20X50 with TMR and VX3 4.5-14X40 with TS-32X. To each their own.

ETA: M1 on the elevation turret.

Dogshooter, personally I prefer the M2 profile vs M1. 1/2 MOA would likely do fine if not even the M3 in 1 MOA. Less clicks. Less wear right?

VX 2 3-9X40 regular duplex.

I grabbed a few of them when the were on sale at $250., a great scope at that price line. They all have the CDS, while I would have preferred the regular knobs I can live with the CDS.

I have used VariX-II's, standard duplex or German #4, for a LONG time! They are still working for me as well as ever!!

Looking forward to trying out the new VX6 3-18x44 this Fall.

2.5-8 is my favorite and has been since it first came out.

Cost being always a factor, I have mostly 2-7 and 3-9X40 duplex scopes on my rifles. I don't shoot at night or much over 350 yards, so I have no use for anything better or more expensive.

Spotting is for binox or spotting scopes, not rifle scopes. wink

Have 3 of these on my serious hunting rifles. My other serious hunting rifle wears a 3.5-10 VX3 with CDS. I've had very few problems with Leupold through the years and I've owned a bunch of them.
