I personally switch between an AimPoint and my rifle scope, but since this is a scopes thread, I'll post about the scope.

It's a Bushnell 2-6x28E (I have no idea what the 'E' stands for), halogen-filled, mil-dot reticule, dual-colour illuminated scope.

I personally like it because the 2-6x magnification range gives me a more 'airsoft friendly' combination of zoom; I find I usually leave it on the 2x setting because it offers a perfect blend of FOV and accuracy to use in mid-range environments, which is usually what I play in.

I'll occasionally up the mag to 3 or even 4x, but I rarely venture past that when shooting. Because it is mounted on a standard 'assault' rifle platform and not a DMR or Bolt-Action rifle, I pretty much never use 5x and 6x and those are usually only reserved for IFF or other weird little things I feel like doing with them.

Reticule colours are red and green, which is nice, but I have yet to use those in combat. They only ilum the reticule, which is pretty typical, but still useless in low-light areas. In daytime I find the standard black is perfectly useable.

Windage/Elevation knobs are hidden in metal shrouds on the side (which slightly annoys me, but then again, I just use the Mil-dots to compensate most of the time) and there are three 20mm Picatinny rails integrated into the body of the scope. It adds a finishing touch of functionality and also that 'tactical' look that I liked it for.
