Honestly, I think my fav is my Burris 3x12x50 like the one here, only not illuminated: http://www.natchezss.com/product.cf...D=BU200927

My latest scope acquisition is the Burris MTAC-30 1.5 -6 x 40; it will be for my 375 Ruger Savage Bear Hunter Model; 111 with the ACCUSTOCK. I am using Burris Tactical QD rings and Weaver mounts and having Williams Firesights installed for my back up open sights. Plan to use in AK or BC for a Coastal Bear hunt in 2014.Hopefully the scope is a rugged as it apperars. A second and back up scope for the hunt and rifle is my 9 year old and often hunted Leupold 2-7x36 European 30 MM tube with Alumina lens protectors to help shed rain drops, etc. I had Leupold insert mil dots on the reticle when I sent the scope back for refurbishing. I prefer low power and low profile scopes with generous eye relief on a heavy hitting hunting rifles since the game shots I take are mostly within 150 yards.
My 250-3000 wears a Swift 4-12 x 40 Tactical for long distance shooting. Real happy with optics on that scope and reasonably priced. My 22-250 Model 12 Savage bull barrel wears a Weaver Grand Slam 6-20 fine crosshair with dot. That scope works well too. since I use Leupold QR mounts on those two short action Savage rifles, the scopes can be interchanged and need only minor tweaking to bring them to accuracy.

Burris uses lenses with a greater diameter than the competition
• “Signature Select” scopes lenses are 40% larger than the competition in 1” tubes
•“Fullfield II” lenses are 25% larger than the competition in 1” tubes

Unique Technical Features
The outer tubes & internal components are extremely robust. The adjustment system is: •repeatable
•steel on steel
•with audible clicks
•Double internal spring force. Every Burris scope has it.

Posi-Lock
•Posi-Lock is a coil-spring assisted retractable steel post that firmly and & securely locks accuracy into place.
•Once the reticle is zeroed, the covering tube (red) replaces the internal spring (green) & locks the inner tube in place.
•All scopes have one spring that allows the adjustment of the reticle.
•Some of the competition competitors offer a double spring whereas the double spring is the STANDARD for all Burris products.
•As an optional, it’s possible to have the special Posi-Lock system.
Posi-Lock scopes remain perfectly zeroed year after year even during transportation. In the closed position, the force of the spring is substituted by the force of the steel post on the internal tube of the scope.
On all rifle scopes:
•Each scope is filled and purged at least 24 times with high quality, laboratory grade dry nitrogen. Each nitrogen cycle absorbs airborne and residual surface moisture that is evacuated from the scope
•Every scope is individually recoil, water and fogproof tested
•Burris uses specially made quad seals to provide double insurance against leakage

Nice review. Learned some things I was unaware of. Since I bought (and used of course) my sig. select, Burris is my choice over my Leupolds.
