Nikon Prostaff on all my main hunting rifles. I have a couple of Bushells on some of my secondary rifles and plinkers and some Redfield Trackers on my OLD guns...
Got Zeiss, Leopold, and Baush and Lomb Binocs. I love the Zeiss, and Baush and Lomb.. But don't care for the Leopold..

Nightforce 3.5-15x56.
So awsome I usually forget the binos.
I'd like a good pair of lightweight 8x32 or something. Leupold gold ring

For good scopes and good price check out supersniper. Fixed power scopes but less than 400 if I remember correctly. The difference between 9x and 15x is pretty impressive so if I was looking for a good magnification scope and hunted open area predominately I'd definately give them a check.
