Is there such a thing as, "too much scope"?

[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2770342, member: 115658"] Correct - my specialty is tiny rodents at much longer ranges than 100 yards in the wide rolling prairies of western USA, with exception to larger apex rodents like yellow belly marmots, aka rockchucks that often go 8 pounds plus & coyotes - at same distances. Should I need a weapon for rapidly moving targets at powder burn ranges ;) I would use this: [ATTACH alt="IMG_1897.JPG"]446304[/ATTACH] No scope, olde fashion open sights - ramp front. Granted, with olde eyes there is the problem of astigmatism preventing nice clear focus of back sights for a fine sighting. A small 2X scope would fix this. A scope with a 5 ft field of view at 100 would probably have a FOV at powder burn ranges that would be measured in inches. Mounting a 3X prism scope on this rifle would be problematic because short eye relief and bigger than customary tube diameter. I will probably mount a Leupold 2X light weight scope on the rifle & everything would be easy to lug around. A Leupold Freedom 1.5-4X20 would not be "too much scope" for this rifle. [/QUOTE]
