[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 690001, member: 48043"] JE is spot on. I use fixed power scopes on three of 11 rifles(two others are blades) and I'll put them up against my high power variable scopes any day. Even my m700 lightweight in 375h@h is expected to do sub moa 3 shot groups at 100 yards with it's straight 6x Monarch. I've been trying to kill that scope on the 375 for a while; it won't die. Both of my 270's wear 10x elite 3200's. I like the weight(lack thereof) and simplicity of fixed x scopes. You don't have anything to fiddle with when you pull up to put lights out, or the 10 ring or x on a target for that matter. Plus the recticle on most fixed x scopes can be used as a range finder, you just have to figure out how much a certain portion of your recticle subtends at a given range and you are home free as long as you know the dimensions (especially top to bottom at the brisket)of your quarry. No figuring out wierd etch a sketch in the field of view to down a critter at more than pbr. [/QUOTE]
