[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2761914, member: 8394"] Man I wish I was doing the budget version and using one scope on multiple rifles... I've had the horrible scope OCD the last couple of winners, I swear I spend half my time rechecking zero because I decided to swap one scope for the other. I've come to the conclusion the perfect scope doesn't exist in fact the average do it all rifle probably needs two maybe three.... Had a 3 to 18 on my 17 Mach 2 for a big squirrel shoot, but it didn't have quite enough field of view to clean a branch of grouse early season. So on went the 2-12.... but without parallax adjustment it blurred over 9.5x and the reticle sucked... so on went the 1-6. That was perfect until the first week of November when I realized that light gathering matters north of the 60th parallel. Just put a 2-10 on with a better reticle.... fingers crossed its just right. That rifles had a 1-4, 1-8, a 1-6 a 2-10, 2-12, a 3-10, 3-18 and a rmr on it in the last 2.5 years... had high hopes fir the mk5hd 2-10 until the specs came out.... *Shane Lindsey is right, gotta be careful with some cartridges, burnt up some throat on my last 7 rum with a frustrating scope on it. Scope rotation on it would make for some short barrel life. [/QUOTE]
