Re: What optic do you use on your hunting rifles?

2.5-8 Zeiss Conquest was used on my 375 H&H for quite a while and is now moving over to my .404 once it is complete.

4.5-14 VX3 with B&C Reticle on my coyote rifle

Nikon 3x9x40 on a 25-06 ruger m77. im very pleased with it although i would like a litte more magnification when im streching out for a further than 250 yard shot.

I'll be honest and you all can laugh...

Elk/Deer Rifle : Bushnell Banner 3-9x40
.22 : Bushnell SV 3-9x32
Predator Rifle : Sightron 6-24x40

I may not have the most expensive scopes, but atleast I didn't break the bank to go have fun hunting. You can put all the finest optics on a rifle you want, but it doesn't amount to shit if you can't shoot.

For a hunting rifle I always try to minimize weight where practical, which is one of several reasons I stick with the 3-10x40 Leup.

Ditto that, nice and light, compact, works awesome.

My two main deer hunting rifles are both wearing rail mounted Swarovski Z6i 1.7-10, and my main hog gun is wearing an illuminated Leupold VX-III 1.5-5.

I haven't hunted in around 8 years. All of the guns I had then either had irons or 4 to 6x on them. I'm getting back into hunting this year. I'll be sporting the 10x Bushnell Tactical.

I picked up a Nikon Monarch 3-12x42SF and it's really nice.

I have a Tasco Euro-Class I've been using on a 300WM since 1992ish. That was a big spend back then.
It's sitting in case waiting to be loaded up in morning. The other rifle in case has a $250 Redfield. I hope this post doesn't jinx me.

Re: What optic do you use on your hunting rifles?

Here in Central NY, deer are taken in either a woodland of farmland context.

For the woodland context my guns are either 20ga slug/sabot guns, or my 44Mag lever gun, and these all wear dot scopes zeroed for 70 yards. The ballistic curves for these firearms tend to be surprisingly similar. Shooting opportunities tend to be fleeting, so quick sight picture acquisition tends to become foremost.

For the more open hunting context, I use Ruger MKI .30-'06's or .280's with some older contemporary Redfield 4-12x40 scopes that were mounted on them when my Elder Brother Bill had those guns before his passing. They are generally zeroed for 200yd, which is close to a good MPBR zero distance.

Deer this year appear to be more or less plentiful, just never where I can get to them. I do tend to get a decent naturalist's eye view of the foxes and cute little bunnies, though...

S&B Zenith flash dot 3-12x50 with precison hunter turrets
Kaps Illuminated 2.5-10x50
2x Conquest 6.5-20x50

Kaps has the best optics. No bdc turrets.
S&B is a bit heavy.
Conquest good for all year shoot anything and not too heavy.
