Not anxious to look at a Swaro or Zeiss? Wouldn't put a Bushnell on a Kimber but a Burris is OK? Bushnell's are only good enough for Remingtons. Sightron has best warranty in the business?

Spent a 4 hour session looking through scopes and Nikon was the best. But then again they don't come with a free pair of bino's, Do they?

So, one persons best scope is best because it meets his goal, such as seeing the target at night. Another person's best scope is best because it holds its zero and then another person claims his is best because it comes with a free pair of binos.

I'm sorry, but if I was choosing a scope to hunt with: the criteria would have something to do with holding zero, light gathering ability, target clarity or durability and not if it came with a free pair of binos. After all, if they can afford to give away binos with it that would tell me the price should have been less to start with and it may not be such a best deal after all.

Never had a Swaro or a S&B.
I've had/have Zeiss, Kahles, Leupold, Redfield, Weaver, Bushnell, B&L, Nikon, Charles Daly, Simmons, Burris, Tasco, Tasco Custom Shop and probably countless others that I've forgotten about. I know there was a couple Russian type scopes in there. Best in the hunting big game application is the Zeiss 3.5 x10 mil dot.(Dusk and dawn application is far superior to others) Best varmint is 8.5 to 25 x50 LR fine duplex Leupold beccause it is mostly used during daylight hours. The clicks are repeatable and dependable. We shoot varmints to 1250 yards so far.
