One Leupold VX3 3.5-10X and two Burris 3-9X FF II on the most used rifles then a 4.5-14 Nikon, B&L3000 3-9X, Bushnell 3200 3-9x on the next most used rifles.
Nothing fancy just solid hunting scopes.

This favorite 06 had a 2.5-8 Leu on it when I made some really memorable shots. It's a good scope. ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/850/109ed.jpg)

That sounds about like what I have. Next, he'll be asking what kind of rings and bases we use  ..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have killed hundreds of ground squirrels, hundreds of muskrats, and more big game with an old Win 670 in 30-06 equipped with a 1980 vintage 2.5-7x32 Weaver than all my other firearms combined.
Obviously that is all that is required for any hunting I might ever do.
Then why do I now have rifles in the safe from 17 HMR through 7mm STW and 41 cal wearing 4-12x40, 4.5-14x42, 6.5-20x etc optics?
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
