Assuming cost is not an issue for an illuminated scope for leopard, what would you buy?

I have the Zeiss Victory 2.5-10 x 50. German #4 with illumination. It's hella nice. You could pay a little more for a scope, but not much.

I used and use on my 9.3 double a Swarovski 1.6 - 6 circle dot.

Z6i 1.7-10 TDS - 375 AI MRC/Accurate innovations

I like my Swaro 1.7-10 Z6i with a #4 reticle.

The 2-12 required higher rings, and while it worked OK, it required that I put a pad on the comb to get a good cheek weld.

Zeiss, Swarovski, and Schmidt & Bender are all top rate...take a look at all three and see what your eye likes best.

I tried a Schmidt & Bender Zenith last year and will purchase another this year. I understand they are going to offer a 1-8 but a bigger objective may be needed with cats.

That is like asking what is your favorite food

Bribing a Game Scout to allow spots is cheaper....

I have a Kahles 1.5 X 6 X42 with an iluminated small X. It has worked well and been to Africa 5 times. Also works well for serval and civet at night.
