What kind of sight do you prefer (scope, open, red dot, laser, etc) and why?
Any preferred brand and why?
What type of mount (for scopes and red dots - tactical, fixed, etc and brand) and why?
What kind of gun (rifle, pistol, shotgun)?
What do you use it for (hunting, target shooting, etc)?
Reason I'm asking is that I'm starting to work a lil part-time with a small sporting goods shop - doing things like mounting scopes and minor gunsmithing. Getting some people looking to get a scope and mount and they're asking for opinions. I don't really have much of an idea of what to recommend, I've always used Redfield 1-piece bases and a scope with adjustable objective and 4-14x zoom when I've done things in the past. Very rare that I've used anything else and I usually wasn't happy with the results (like a 4x scope on a 12 gauge slug gun - a 2-6x might have been a lot nicer, and a standard 4x scope on a .22 - just mounted a 3-9x .22 mag scope on a rifle for a guy and it's sooo much nicer than those tiny scopes).
