My primary fear is scope failure. However, I'm also weight conscious as I get older.

I want a 2-12 or 3-15 with a 42-44 objective that is lightweight, illuminated, and hard to break. These things don't usually go together! So far, the Leupold VX-6 2-12 has filled the bill but I still worry about it. I have some weird phobia about missing an animal with a wounding shot! On travel hunts I even carry a spare scope, although I've never needed it. My primary hunting choice is a 300 Weatherby.

If not Leupold, then what?
