[QUOTE="Panhandle Pete, post: 2806437, member: 107045"] Bob Milek was one of my favorite gun writers and was all about fixed power 6x scopes, I still have Leupold 6x42 on several rifle combos and is great for moving targets at closer range if you are capable of such, these combos accounted for lots of game both moving a stationary. I also carried a 2x Leuopld topped on my Ruger 77 R 338 win Mag for years and also on my custom Remington 700 338 Win mag and a Ruger Number 1 338 Win Mag on several hunts when I was younger and accounted for elk, mountain goat ,mountain caribou and oryx, it is great for young eyesbut being a 1952 model I really appreciate my Leupld Mark 5 3.6x18's with various reticles and my Nightforce ATACR scopes. My favorite on a $70 Remington 788 22-250 Rem is a Leupold 8x that cost $115 for scope, rings and bases in 1975, it accounted for lots of prairie dogs, coyotes and Texas Hill Country whitetails and a turkey or two. Field of view is everything in hunting scopes. [/QUOTE]
