[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 70321, member: 8"] Just to emphasize a point, every one is suggesting scopes that have a fairly low end magnification, which is important to give a good field of veiw for close in work so you can get on target quickly. It is really easy to get carried away with the thoughts of lots of magnification and wind up having too much magnification at the bottom. I have a Burris 3X9 on a Ruger 10-22 and it is just too much low end magnification for forest hunting of small game. Depending on what cartridge you are shooting and your preferences and experience the Burris ballistic plex tends to make life simple out to a reasonable distance after which life is really complicated anyway. I have one on a muzzleloader and like it. Distance estimation is still the critical component and the reticle does not solve that. I also have a Leupold 3.5X 10 Var III with multiplex and it is a good scope and like the Burris you get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
