What Scope are you running?

One of the things that would be a deal breaker for me on a lot of the popular scopes is the parallax range. It wouldn't bother me on a centerfire rifle, but on an airgun or rimfire I want the parallax to go down to a minimum of 15m and preferably 10m and I'll pay more to get a scope that does that.

It's why I chose to order the Vortex Strike Eagle over the Arken EP5 despite the EP5 getting fantastic reviews from virtually everyone and costing $150 less. 25m is just not an ideal minimum parallax for an airgun and if I'm spending $500+ on a scope I want it to be as close to ideal as possible.
 
I am potentially about to get some new glass for 1 of my rifles, or new rifle, and there are a few scopes out there that I have my eye on. Not going to bring names to light just yet, as I am trying to determine cost over return. To name a few of the ones I already have are as follows and are decent entry to mid level optics:

1. Arken
2. Athlon
2. Blackhound
4. Monstrum
5. Vortex

I'm really thinking about getting into Teir 1 territory but so far am unsure.

Just wanted to know what everyone else might be running on their PCP Rifles so as to help me to guage my next purchase. Thanx for the read guys and I look forward to seeing what everyone else is running too.

Most of my scopes are Optisan. 10m parallax. Love the reticles. I own a couple of Arkens (for Paradigm and Crown) and a few Hawke (one zero eye relief) and one S.W.A.T. (zero eye relief) The two zero eye relief scopes are on my Akela and PRod.

@Arkansas_Airgunner I have bought various scopes for different purposes. Your question is extremely vague as is my response above. What do you intend to do with said scope? Knowing your application for the scope in question helps a lot when it comes to garnering useful responses.
I do a little bit of almost everything...from plinking/paper punching out to around 100 yds, to hunting everything from squirrels to monster whitetails and hogs, to ringing steel @ 500+ yards.
