Mine is, and always has been the Japanese-made Tasco World-Class 3x9x40. I've found that these scopes were tough, with clear optics. I never owned any of those really expensive scopes, however. I'm just thinking about the scopes that you could buy years ago for around 100.00, with today's equivalent ones costing up into the hundreds.
Whats not to like when you can own a scope that works for 40 years, and have them send you a new one when you send it back for a simple reticle change because they found an issue you didn't even know you had. So I guess ill say Leupold.
Can Swarovski be included?
Late 70s vintage Bausch and Lomb Balvar 8A 2.5 - 8. Still nice and clear.
I love my old USA made Burris's.
I had several of those dating back to the sixtys. They were an excellent scope, but a bit funky also due to the mount setupQuote:

They were also a first focal plane scope, which was why the tapered cross hair reticle. I also had a Balvar 6x24 variable on a long range hunting gun, and had the original adjustment setup removed and a Kuharsky external micrometer installed to replace it. It had over 500 1/4 minit clicks of elevation from my 100 yd zero, and frankly I still question my sanity for removing it in favor of a new Nightforce.
Also a first focal plane by the way, not that it mattered.
