Dream rifle scope

To go along with the dream rifle thread, what is everyone's dream rifle scope (either currently available or what you wish were available).
I've found myself being pretty happy with existing rifles on the market and don't change rifles very often but go through scopes pretty frequently.

I have two dream scopes that don't exist but easily could.
Between these two scopes I could fit out any rifle I could dream up other than perhaps a super dooper long range target rifle.

2-12X42 <20oz MRAD, with a FFP reticle that is actually usable on 2x, there are lots of LVPOs with nice FFP reticles these days but no decent 2ish magnification scopes.
The 2-12 mag range is near perfect for 99% of hunting situations in my opinion.

3.5-21x50 <24oz MRAD, again with a FFP reticle that is useful on low magnification.
Basically just a little more magnification than a VX6 3-18 but FFP and MRAD.
For use on a rifle that you'll likely use at longer distances than the 2-12 but still very capable of close range work if needed.

I have mine now, Swaro 2.4x12 windplex illuminated with a custom turret, love it

I have mine now, Swaro Z6i 2,5-15x44 with a custom turret, love it

Mine is almost perfect Swarovski Z8i 2.3-18 x 56 a 50mm would have been better

I'm using an Athlon 2-12 x 42, and I've got to say for the money I'm really impressed. FFP, a useable reticle on 2x, good illumination and accurate adjustments. The glass is surprisingly good too.

Did I mention that I'm impressed? My only complaint is I'd like a hydrophilic coating like the Bushnell's have.

All the flash, feature-rich scopes are heavy which puts me off a bit. Otherwise, something with a good magnification range (i.e. 2-10x or similar) and light in weight!

This new March would be pretty close for me I think...

This is my Shit&Bender Elite series biodegradeable European scope of the future.

Saved long and hard for this. Don't give up on your dreams.

i have a march.. 2.5-25@52... great for everything. I have it on my 338BR ... waiting to get the bolt back any day now from having the sako extractor upgrade done!

I had one of those for a while and liked it a reasonable bit.
If it had better glass and/or weighed a bit less I would've kept it.

Leupold used to do a firedot windage which would be sweet in a VX6 but they discontinued it years ago. its a shame they don't do firedot TMR reticle as thatd be perfect.

The Vx6 is less than 20oz which is fine in my opinion, I not to fussed by the ultra lightweight scopes.

Still better than a vortex

And the other scope I covert would be a high end, highish magnification (16x) BDC reticle for my rimfire.

The leupold vxr patrol have tmr and firedot @MB

@MB - you need to look at a Vixen 4-16 x 44 AO with a BDC reticle... It will tick all the boxes.

That's a fine Norwegian Lort-ex

it would wear leupold name badge...2-10x and have fine centre and fat outer bars like a kahles and extremely wide field of view at low power like the old nikko stirling goldcrowns.a larger rear eye box,to help with quick eye centering and better sight picture Aquisition .and most importantly cost under $500 new... not be truck axel big or heavy either.

That would tick the boxes, thanks. I will look at it again when the time comes. At the moment, I have no place to go rabbit shooting, so like the other project, no rush sadly.

I love my nx8 2.5-20, best scope I have owned.
Worth a little extra weight I reckon.
If I wanted to save some weight I would be keen to check out the Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42

I really like the Element Helix 4-16. Maybe I should dream bigger though. I would like to run the Titan 3-18 FFP MRAD

These scopes seem to have a pretty big cult following around the globe.
I just wish I liked the NF reticle options.

@Gkp SFP of FFP? I tend to like FFP these days but the MilC reticle doesn't lend itself well low magnification work.
Maybe the MOAR reticle would be better but I'm well off the MOA train these days.

On my LR setup, just stepped up from a NF ATACR 5-25, to my dream scope... March Genesis mini 4-40, and so glad I did... not only can I see a fly walking across the 1m steel plate at 1500m... I can see that it got a little close to the action and is now gender neutral... The only thing wrong with the ATACR was my ageing eyes...in all respects it was a great scope but the Genesis is just one step further... brilliant.!

Parallax is finicky but makes it easy to know it’s bang on with out waving your head back and forth march 2.5-25x42

Tangent Theta Long Range Hunter 3-15x50

@Beetroot F2
I had the higher mag 32x nx8 in F1 and liked it but never used it over 20x
I sold it thinking it was too much coin to have tied up in a scope. I quickly learnt the error of my thinking!
The whole combo works so well together

VX3 3.5-10x40

Z6i 1.7-10 x 42 with a BT.

In reality
Bush hunter Z3 3-9 x 36 4A reticle
Bush and extended (400m?) Z3 3-10 x 42 BRX/BRH reticle

I wish Leupold would produce one of their one inch tubed compact scopes with the guard ion lens coating they have on their vx5's and vx6's. If they put the Guard ion on their 1.5-4x20hog, VX31.5-5x20 or their fx2.5x20 that would be my dream scope. The 30mm 1-5 vx5's are great but are a bit longer and heavier than their compacts with the one inch tube.

2.5-25 march
I had one for a while but wanted game fishing gear ahead of an overseas trip so cashed it in for that

was the size of a 3-9 power but just amazing in every way
