I'm curious on y'all's opinions what the best rifle Scopes are. I really like my Nightforce and Zeiss scopes but have been curious about March, Zco, and Tangent scopes. Looking for opinions and we all have them so let's share them

NF, Zeiss, Swaro, S&B, Tangent Theta Steiner, all are excellent quality optics for the guy with really deep pockets.
F class is at the top of the optics world, regardless of who makes it.

Glass costs money. How glassy do you want to get? What are you using it for?

I totally caused my own conundrum by finally really educating myself " on what " good glass is & what quality optics bring to the table that budget friendly optics fall short.
I also learned how to evaluate a scope & how to pair the right scope up with the right gun for its intended use.
What I've really done is, knowing what I know now, I also know that I can't afford the kind of optics that I'd prefer to use.
So, I developed a " champagne & caviar taste, on a beer & Slimjims budget " conundrum,
So I had to learn what i the best quality of optic that I can afford & making the best of that.
I put an Arken EP5 Gen2 7-35x56 FFP IR MOA scope on my .30 long range target build. For what it cost me, it really brings a lot to the table. I used it for the first time at the range today. I am ecstatic with it to the point that I can forget thats it a "Budget " scope.
If I had the finances, I'd buy a NF ATACR 7-35X56 for it.
I edited this to add: every time that I see someone online asking for ppls opinions of " what the best???? " is, and the only answers they will get is a hundred guys telling you what " they have " or what " their fav is " which I've found to have absolutely nothing to do with what is actually " the best " .... whatever. Ppl seem to completely misinterpret what is asked & give answers that have nothing to do what is really being asked. Its SMFH worthy every time.
