I've used Leupold 2.5x8, 2x7. Currently, I have a Burris Timberline 4.5x14ao and Bushnell 3200 3x9 & 2x7. I like the Rainguard coating on the Bushnells, and they are very clear. The Burris I use for coyotes and working up loads. I have never hunted with it. It just doesn't have the FOV I like. I used to hunt a lot with a 1.5x5 but found that I got by just fine with 3x9 or 2x7s. I am not a LR hunter though, so don't need a lot of magnification to read mirage, etc.
