What Scopes is everyone Using?

Athlon Neos 4-12x40
Athlon Neos 6-18x44
Element Helix 6-24x50 FFP
SWFA 12x42

The Athlon Neos are quite good despite being entry level. I like to zero and use the holdovers on the reticle with these. However the Element Helix and SWFA get the most use since I like to dial in my shots. When I bought the SWFA, I was concerned that it'd be hard to find the target in a hunting situation but it hasn't been the case. That scope and the rifle it's set up on has the most kills so far.
 

What Scopes is everyone Using?​

this is like asking what kind of car is everybody driving with no particular task mentioned . So i will ask using for what ?
I have a BSA 36 power scope that i am using as a spotting scope for paper targets because it is broken and i bought it for $5 works great as a spotter.
 
I guess I am confused by this discussion. I am a newby to air rifles, but most of my high power hunting rifles have a 3 x 9 at maximum. My varmint rifles have 3 x 12 or 4 x 16 scopes. My hunting rifles are used to 300 yards as are my varmint rifles. My air rifles are going to be used to a maximum of 25 to 30 yards. Why is everyone using such high power scopes at such short distances. I realize air rifles are shooting at smaller targets, but a prairie dog isn't that much larger than a gopher or squirrel.
