Jordan's rifle has the 3-9, which is significantly less bulky than the fixed powers, and has more positive adjustments than the non-HD fixed powers as well. All around better scope, IMO.
A guy can pack a phugging engine block up a mountain if he's so inclined. Doesn't mean it's something I wanna do. Note that the rifle pictured is a WSM Montana, which is already ergonomically not my cup of tea with it's weird perch belly. If it works for him, good. The last guy I saw shoot a WSM Montana with a mediocre eye relief scope during a hunt bled profusely from the face after doing so.
I've had both the MQ and Mil-Dot in the 3-9x... and believe the Mil-Dot is the more usefull 'hunting' reticle. The FFP combined with the MQ made for an aweful difficult to see reticle when the magnification was turned down. They were both on 9x 99% of the time. I'm not a fan of the 3-15 for the same reasons mentioned by Jason.
The 10x is probably perfect all around glass, but I prefer the 12x for my needs.... as I've not had a situation arrise where I can't find stuff in the glass. I've tried to go 6x more than once.... but coyotes look damn small at 450 on 6x. For BG, they work fine to 300-400 or so. Which I suppose, works 95% of the time...
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
How does the SWFA 6x42 compare to the Leupold 6x36 ? Is better in Low light conditions ? Same for a comparison with the Leupold 6x42 in low light conditions ?

You're the only hard charger around here. What with your 40,000 posts and everything. Whatever happened with that John Burns challenge thing? You sure charged out of that.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

At 7.5 lbs all up, it's the lightest engine block IN THE WORLD. I'm actually not really sure how it got up on that mountain. It's certainly too heavy for a guy to carry up there without motorized assist. Mysterious.
