I have used or currently use a Leupold 4x33 with duplex reticle, FX-II 6x36 with LRD reticle, and 6x42 FX3 with M1 elevation turret and a post and duplex reticle. I like them all, but for different reasons. All are lightweight, rugged, and sufficiently bright for shooting in legal light. The 4x33 is great for stalking whitetails in the midwest woods. The 6x36 has a bit more magnification but is a slim, compact scope. The 6x42 is very bright, and it just has great eye relief.
I don't know that it means it's my favorite, but my next scope will be a 6x42 with LRD.
