What's your favorite scope you own?

The made in Phllipines now discontinues Simmons Aetec 3.8-12 x44 AO I have on my deer rifle is the best low-light scope Ive ever used. It was originally made in the L.O.W. plant which stands for Light Optical Works who designed and built many high end optics like Nightforce and somehow Simmons sold them under $250 after they moves to the Phillipines.

The Leupold VX3 and Vortex Viper i have comes close but the Aetec has a better FOV, better eye relief, and useful AO for alot less money. Wish they still made them

Meopta Meostar R1 3-12x56......best low light hunting scope I've ever had.
 
My favorite scope I have on any of my rifles is the Sig Tango Six 1-6 with their BDC reticle. My only gripe would be the weight. the thing is built like a tank, making it kinda heavy for a 1-6 that you would want to put on a AR type rifle. it has great clarity and is first focal plane so when used at 1x its horseshoe reticle can be used as a red dot.
 
I like the original green colored Scope the best. All the others seem too sweet to me. Oh wait......
 
What are the scopes you have on your ARs? Not red dots or reflex sights...but scopes.

I have a Busnell AR scope (4-12x40?) I'm thinking of putting on my AR.

Decent scope?

I have a swfa 3-15x on a cz 455. That is a fun combo for long range 22lr action.

All that I own are my favorites. Mk 6 3-18s, VXR Patrols, 3-17 USOs, 1.8-10 USO, 10x USO, and a 34 year old VXiii 3.5x10 with target turrets currently on loan to my former FIL. He has killed more deer since I put it on his rifle 3 years ago, than all the previous years using a Walmart Bushnell.
Sarah killed her first deer this year with the SPR I built, wearing the 1.8-10 USO.

I had a Mk6 1-6x a few years ago and it was incredible. I can't believe that I got rid of it for a USO 1-8x, which turned out to be a clunker with sub-par glass. I get a little chubby every time I see a Mk6 3-18x and would love to have one on my semi-precision AR, but the Mk4 3.5-10x TMR does a fine job at any distance that I can shoot that rifle out to.

On my 700 308, I've really enjoyed the Sightron S3 6-24 FFP that it's wearing. That was a good recommendation from mckenziedrums from the old site.

Oops....I forgot to mention my Mk 6 1-6 illuminated. It is bad to the bone but currently has no rifle of its own......Soon......
 
I have (4) Vortex Viper PST FFP and (2) Bushnell Elites. All on Range Rental Rifles for my schools. My favorite is on my comp rig, Gen 2 Razor. Bad ass optic. Worth every dime. Getting another one this year as the price is going to drop on these!!
 
I am really liking the Meopta Meopro 3-9x44 I have on my Beraga B14 308. I got it on sale for $350ish and have been floored with the quality.
 
My new Steiner 1-4x24.

Really digging it so far.
