Come on guys, all of these rifles and only 2 of you running the infamous Leupold 2.5-8x36? WTF's wrong with this picture?? Not flaming other's choices but to my eye the 2.5x8 is over rated. My son has one and he likes the Nikon Monarch UCC 3x9 more.

Come on guys, all of these rifles and only 2 of you running the infamous Leupold 2.5-8x36? WTF's wrong with this picture?? Okay, man, I have one on a Kimber Montana .325 WSM, another that will probably end up on my Whelen, and a third that was going to go on my .358 Hawkeye, but got bumped by a Conquest 2.5-8x. .243 FX3 6x42 .25-06 3-9x40 Vari-X 7-08 Conquest 3-9x 7 WSM Conquest 3-9x .308 Redfield 2-7x .30-06 #1 Minox 3-9x .30-06 #2 VX2 3-9x40 LRD .300 H&H VX2 3-9x40 LRD .300 WM 2.5-10 B&L 4200

22 Hornet - Leupold 2.5-8x36
223 - Leupold 3.5-10x40
243 - Leupold 4x32
6.5X55 - Leupold 2.5-8x36
280AI - naked - getting a Leupold 3.5-10x40
308 - Leupold 2.5-8x36
338LM - Nightforce 5.5-22x50
9.3x62 - Leupold 2.5-8x36
I was running a few more Zeiss last year but have sold most of them off. No complaints on the glass just trying to drop a few ounces from all my gear. The VX3 2.5-10x40 and the 2.5-8x36 are my current favorite scopes for the weight/money. Overrated to some but they work for me and I am liking the consistency when switching from rifle to rifle. I have a few other rifles at the smith being built and they will probably get fixed power Leupolds and a NF 2.5-10x42.

7mm Rem Mag = Zeis Conquest 3-9x40mm (Also wore a Bushenll Elite 3-9x40, and the 4x32mm that is now on a 22LR))
.243win = 4-12x40mm Vortex Diamondback
CZ 452 22LR = 4x32mm Japanese brand scope VERY bright, but thick plex, would be better on a woods rifle. (had the 4-12 Vortex before moving to the 22LR)
I had a Burris FFII 3-9x40mm on a CZ 452 Lux before.

I have nothing but Kahles AH/CL/C any longer. (4) 2-7x36, (2) 4x36, and a 3-9x42. Also recently set up a Remington 600 with an Aimpoint Micro H1. Very happy with everything I have.

I'm a boring SOB.... You aint to boring if you were able to nab a 223 Montana Gunner lol.... It is a likeable little rifle. I heard someone describe it as "handy as a shirt pocket". With a 6x42 it's just right. ![[Linked Image]](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r134/JCMCUBIC/Cat1_zps233bd816.jpg)
