[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1377656, member: 41338"] I have more than a few scopes. This last year, I pulled a Leopold VX-2, 3x9 off another rifle and put it on a Steyr 30-06, just to work up a load. It did so well, l left it on. Plain deplex reticle, less than 12 ounces. Holds zero and if I can remember to bring a coin along, it dials a solution just fine. The coin adjustment turrets are pretty hick and I may or may not do something about that! The duplex reticle is a bit heavy for most people but you can see it in the timber and against dark objects. I put a paper plate at just under 500 yards, dialed up a solution and put 4 shots in 4 inches off my tailgate and a fairly shaky set up. It cracked me up how well it did. Anyway, something you can dial that's reliable with accurate adjustments (you'll need to test and verify those). A plain jane duplex reticle and a 40mm objective is a nice trim and simple package. You mentioned scabbard. You may well want low turrets with caps. Leopold makes something like that. [/QUOTE]
