What scope do you trust? Most rugged, dependable rifle scope?

[Neil Molendyk]

Trijicon, Zeiss, Leupold, can't afford the upper end spectrum, But I use my optics as optics.

I have gotten Leopolds to lose zero. I can't afford other brands. So I stetched/found bargains and got a couple Trijicons. They've had some bumps and kept zero. With multiple people telling me they don't break easily I think I'll stick with them. A Trijicon 1-4 does what I want for a close in bear scope and my 2.5-10 does everything else. Its really nice now, I don't think I've had to re sight in my scope since I mounted it.

Ive got a pretty wide variety of optics in the safe.. Im not particularly brand loyal.. Im much more motivated by who makes something that "fits" the purpose of the rifle I intend on mounting the scope on... that is within the price range Im willing to spend for that particular rifle (I might put a nice euro scope on one of my higher end rifles.. but wouldnt likely mount a $1200-$2000 scope of a $350 "truck gun", etc..)...

all that said, most of the scopes I currently own are Swaro, Zeiss, or Leupold....

For many years I leaned hard toward zeiss before considering other options... but between guidefitter (where swaro offers significant discounts) and leupold VIP (discounts for public servants, veterans, etc) and the pricing I can obtain through those programs.. 9 out of 10 times these days I buy leu or swaro...

Just a heads up for vets, etc. Nightforce has a pretty good discount.
