There is a lot of useful information in this thread, but I would reiterate the remark posted by someone else before me. If you have the chance, try the new Aimpont COA. It works great, and it looks a lot more elegant than any Aimpoint before it. I have only hunted normal-sized animals with it...

They are really big and heavy. That is the only downside. Everything else is probably best on the market at the moment. You can check this review to get more details:

These simple non-variable scopes are, unfortunately, becoming a thing of the past. But in some situations, the experience with them is simply better than with a more modern scope. There are no settings to think about. You concentrate on the hunt, and when the time comes, you just point and...

Z6i 1-6x24 EE was especially good for heavy-hitting rifles, and it is such a shame they stopped producing it.
