Your dream scope?
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. Allen

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.

No sweat
A scope that makes my bullet go where I want it to, not just where I'm aiming

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.

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.
