Your dream scope?

[Skinny Shooter]

If you could design your own scope(s), what features would it contain and who would manufacture it?
Not having experience beyond Tasco, Redfield, B&L Elite scopes and Leupold, I'll pick Leupold.
For starters, I'd make a 2.5-12x40 VX-skinny with side-focus and low-profile 1/4moa turrets.
Also would have a telescoping 4" lens shade. This would be mounted on my 222 and would cover me for close-in fox and groundhogs out to the edge of its range.

Nightforce.

Hmmm.... well, for what kinda rifle makes a difference, I guess.
But, for an all around, that 2.5-12 X sounds pretty good.
Make mine a Zeiss Conquest with side focus and a built in laser rangefinder good to 1300 yards or so.
The standard Conquest Duplex reticle, except hashmarks for different distances on the lower reticle.

THIS IS SOOOO EASY.

10X MIL DOT UNERTL.

HAD ONE OF THEIR TARGET SCOPES WHEN I SHOT ON THE RIFLE TEAM IN COLLEGE. EVEN BY 1956 STANDARDS IT WAS A GREAT SCOPE. HAD A LEE TACK HOLE DOT. LIKE A TOTAL DORK I SOLD IT WHEN I STOPPED SHOOTING COMPETIVELY. I'VE BEEN KICKING MYSELF EVER SINCE.

A scope that makes my bullet go where I want it to, not just where I'm aiming:D

I'll double Jack's pick, but will put a minute dot smack in the middle in each of those hash marks, each ably to be singly illuminated for what range I pick, with the pull of a left side knob to turn on and push in to turn off, turning controls brightness of the dot, and a smaller light push button on the outside to pick the hash mark. Whew, getting complicated there!! Built in range finder would rock, though I could live with one built into the binoculars like Leica has, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

I like the USS X.O.T.I.C that just came out and it has clear optics and very rugged! This is one of a kind

[Skinny Shooter]

Laser rangefinder is a great ideer. :cool:

Dream scope? LOL lol, how about a scope that is as clear as a nightforce in the daytime, and can switch to a thermal image at night, or just a plain thermal, been seeing a few advertised for around $12,000.
