What scopes are you guys running on your 6.5 Creedmore's

I have a nikon black x1000 4-16x50. Had it on my tikka t3x ctr 6,5 creemoor and was awesome. They can be had for $529 on sale at Cabelas.
I swapped some stuff around and now have a Nikon Black FX1000 6-24x50 FFP. Its nice too but the FFP gets a little busy/thick when on max zoom.
That 4-16 did awesome when target shooting 1100yds
 
Put a Nikon Black FX1000 6-24x50 MRAD on my 6.5CM. It's strictly a range gun though, not sure I would use it in the bush. I would look for something in the range of 2.5, 3, 4.5 low power to 14, 16 high power. Good for hunting and range work. I run a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42 on my main hunter, .300 Win Mag. Great bush scope and good at the range out to 600m - 700m. A dual purpose scope will be a comprise at some point..
 
I have a Leupold VX3 4.4-14x40 LR w/ Varmint reticle on my 6.5 CM works very well. Target practice out 500 yards as that is what our range is good for.
As a comparison, I have a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 BRH on my 6.5x55.
