    Mine would be my Marlin 25N (.22LR BA) with a Tasco World Class 3-9x40
    Got this new back in 1992. Still a tack driver with anyone else pulling the trigger. I'm a decidedly below average shooter.

    Apline 30.06 my first deer rifle purchased around 1980 which came with a Mikuko (ABC?) 4x40. Sold that rifle two years ago, still with the same scope. LOL Some people say I'm stuck in a rut......I'll need to think about that for a while......

    JW15-Tasco Pronghorn 4x. Bought as a package 28 years ago now, and still shooting weekly. I wouldn’t swap it if someone offered a free Leupold.

    My Sako A7 rem mag had a vortex viper on it for about 5years, sold the rifle and sold the scope about a year later.

    I've had a 6.5 PRC for just over a year and it has worn 4 different scopes already
