Same ones that are on all my hunting rifles. My one varmint is different but could easily get by with my "one" choice.
Leupold 2.5-8 If they made it with an inch longer main tube I would be quite comfortable going that way. They don't.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Easy. Leupold 2.5X8X36 B&C ret.

Leupold M8 4X.
Set for life as I stocked up with ten or so of them over the years.

Tasco world class preferably made in China, the one that is 4-12x50 model so I can shoot at the moon..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Yeah, tell us some negatives. Then maybe I won't lust for one.

Some variation on the Leupold fixed 6 depending on gun.

Zeiss Victory Diavari 2.5-10x42. I’ve got two I sent to Zeiss for ASV+ turrets. Simply awesome

It’s really a toss up for me between a Swaro Z3 3-10x42 and the new Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x40. I like the 42mm objective but the eye relief on those new Leupold s is something else.
I just hunt with my rifles, targets are just practice and load development.

Tough choice for me given my two OLD favorites: Zeiss Diavari 6x or, SB 8x56.
Given that I am older and need more magnification: My SB fixed 8x56 (I know, they don't make them anymore!)

Happy Birthday, Cariboujack. Yeah, I've had a pile of the Leupold 2.5-8s and I agree dollar for dollar they represent a significant value.

Hey guy, I've asked why you posted that. What is your reason? Did you get a bad one or have you even used one?

I’d want it somewhat light, 14-18 oz’s.
Side focus for parallax. If it’s my only scope, it’s gonna do everything from up close rimfire to long range fun gunning.
I’m thinking variable for the same reason. Low end maybe 4ish. Top end, 12-16ish seems reasonable.
Low profile elevation turret marked in mil. Zero stop. Low pro capped windage.
FFP reticle. Marked every half mil, dash and dot.
Long mounting surface.
The March above has a lot going for it. Thats a monster in a reasonably compact package.

I can’t even settle on “the” one scope per each particular rifle.
The 42mm objective March scopes are said to suffer from a finicky eyebox. This is understandable given the design. It’s always a give and take. Even a 25x optic with a 56mm objective suffers compromised low light performance.
