Favorite scopes you own

[bchannell]

One of the best buys in scopes today is the Athlon Midas Tac 4-16x. That is probably the best scope i've ever owner. Clear and bright, no frills, no lighted reticle, but does have a zero stop. They put the money where it belongs, in glass. No weird eye box jut a great scope that's lighter than a lot of scopes.

I also love SWFA fixed power snipers. 1x being my favorite. I have one that is as clear as the Athlon. I dont know if i got a good one or what.
I recently traded for a 10x side focus that is super, so i'm thinking it's par for the course. I've had four 10x over the years and all were great but one was kind of fuzzy. I had just had cataract surgery, so that may have contributed, even though i did'nt notice any other scopes looking weird??

Another favorite is the Vector Veyron. I have two, a 3-12x and a 10x both fantastic compact scopes. I did buy a 4-6x and didn't like the eye box, it wasn't horrible, just not perfect like the others.

I tend to use more fixed power scopes than variables. I have an Optisan EVX 10X,an Airmax 10x, the Veyron and two SWFA 10X and one 12x.

I too like Athlon scopes and have an Ares BTR 2.5-15x50 FFP on my RAW. I also recently received a Discovery Optics HD 2-12x24 FFP that is a gem of a tiny scope that I mounted in the Notos that focuses down to 5yds with nice glass, weight is 16oz.

I bought-tried-sold over twenty scopes in the past half dozen years. What I have today all are keepers.
I am shooting rings only in a gun club, my guns all high power and not suitable for plinking at home - other then a property damage protection around my wallnut threes in the backyard.
My favorite scopes are
IO 5-30 pro, and
Falcon X50, which I am dual purposing between my .22/.25 FX Impacts and my 308 f-class.

A MARCH Compact is my best scope, but I have it on a rimfire at this time. I currently have a Zulus 3x12 on my Ghost and an Immersive 10x40 on my Taipan. The Immersive is a spectacular optic!

Like was written above, I've gone through many scopes over the years and am down to less than 10 that are the best I've ever owned.

March-F 3-24x42 D24V42FIML FFP FML-1 reticle. Just an all around excellent scope with a simple yet very functional reticle.

I really like my Elemet Theos, Tract Torric, and my Arken Ep-4. Though have been using my DNT more due to it getting dark so early.

My prize, monstrous, Vortex Razor 3 is my best, I use my Athlon’s and Arkens more often. The EP5 is a great scope (albeit heavy) for the money.

I'm just commenting.

Fixed power = I'm the opposite because one way or another I eventually feel the need to either have more magnification or more FOV.

Had a MT 4-16 and found it a excellent scope except it wasn't easy seeing the reticle below a certain point in magnification, then sold it and went to 6-24's or 5 -25's.

Various SFP scopes, FFP Helos G2 2-12, or March 1-10, for scratching the itch when I want low magnification.

I could point out things that I did, or did not like, about all my scopes, including super expensive ones. So we have to take the downsides with the upsides and use what floats your boat the most.

Generally right now the Helos G2 line is my #1 go-to choice for feature set, versatility, and value they offer for the money.

Hmmm, what scopes might come out in 2025 that would sway me? Whatever this is, these are, they better be darn good or I'll stay with what I have for now.

I suppose my old S&B PMll 5-25x56/H59 is my favorite out of all of them.

I have a Tract Toric on one rifle and a Leupold on the other. Tract is excellent, Leupold is even better. It's the latest edition:
MK4 HD.

I have an older 1.5-4x Leupold AR MOD Mark 1 with the Green Dot shake awake and auto shut off I will never sell. My Arkens are also some of the best I have ever owned.

 

[MikeAllen]

Sightron is my favorite so far. Anything in the SIII line which is made in Japan and has Japanese glass. I currently own two of the SIII 10-50x60 PLR scopes and couldn't be happier. I don't "require" the 50x but it this scope gives me great brightness all through the magnification range. Have a Leopold on my AR that I do like very much. As for March, I've never owned or used one but I'm sure, at their price, they are fabulous.

 

[manabeknives]

My favorite scope that i own is my Delta Stryker 5-50 x56
Fantastic glass, great turrets..kinda heavy
Clear picture and an impressive 100 moa elevation adjustment
I recently purchased a Sightron S6 10-60 x 56 FT scope .. just WOW
haven't used it enough to be a favorite, but WOW

 

[Ta-Ta Toothie]

March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2.

 

[boscoebrea]

I have good Leupold, Sightron, Burris, Nikon, upper-tier Bushnell, and Hawke scopes. Most of my scopes have AO. Then I have Discovery, which is good but heavy, Pentax, and old-time Tasco. My favorite to use on air guns are Sightron, Nikon, and Bushnell,oh Hawke, because Hawke is easy to use and all have AO

 

[357cal]

Athlon Talos BTR 4-14x44mm ffp MI and Argos BTR GEN2 8-34x56 FFP MI.

 

[Fl surveyor]

Tract toric 4×25×50. Great scope, even better customer service.

Same as I. I discarded all other optics except my Arken EPL for the cheaper, and in my opinion superior Discovery HD and LHD classes.

Got rid of x2 Argos BTR, Diamondback Tactical all FFP. For discoverys

Nice! I do have have a 6 year old Discovery HD 4-20x50 FFP that is still going strong!

 

[Trucker3573]

I have 3 Blackhound genesis scopes. Love them and haven’t paid over 250 for one.

I just caught on. Perfect return to zero perfect tracking. Great Glass quality. My favorite reticle. The 3-12x40and 4-16x44 are great options.
