A S.S. 10x42....works every time, from 200 to 1K, and back to 200. I have several. Super glass IMHO.

Toss up between the 3-12 Bushnell LRHS and 3-9 SWFA SS. The features are better on the LRHS but the reticle in the SS is a little more visible at last light and it weighs 7 oz less. The really important stuff, zero retention, return to zero, and tracking, are excellent on both. I keep the LRHS on my "heavy" gun and the SS on my lightweight.

I put a new SHV F1 on my Sako custom STW. I was amazed at how good the glass was on a scope in that price range

SWFA 3x9 on the tikka .270, zero desire to change the ever change anything about it.

Sightron Big Sky 3-12x42 I bought used off Gunbroker for $265. It's been a gem.
