I don't have any experience with them in hunting applications but I use a Sightron SII 36X and a Sightron Big Sky 36X for .22 rimfire benchrest competition. The SII was purchased over 10 years ago and still sits atop my favorite comp rifle. The Big Sky is on my back-up. The optics are clear enough for me to see the very small dot that we shoot at at 50 yd and 50 meters. The best part for me is the easy, positive and repeatable windage and elevation adjustments. There might be slightly clearer scopes out there but that doesn't interest me as much as the accuracy of the adjustments. For me, first and foremost, a rifle scope is an aiming device. How it holds zero and the accuracy of the adjustments are of utmost importance to me. When I need the bullet to move 1/16" at 50 yards, one click gets it done. That's all I care about.
