Domesticated Bigfoot Vendor Ads   Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Central Ky Posts: 2,506 | I'll tell you what I have on mine-a 2.5x-8x. I have a Leupold and a couple of Weaver in that range. That way you have the option of turning your adjustment range from 2.5x-4x (hunting), to 8x (bench shooting & zeroing).

Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Central IL Posts: 36 | Contender scope I agree, that is why I am leaning towards fixed power. Perhaps on my 30 Bellm that I can use for deer in IL I may opt for a variable as this caliber is accurate out to 150 yards. |
