[QUOTE="hjorst, post: 344477, member: 4736"] First question... cost. That really depends on the scope. Since I live in Canada, some scopes are not available, such as SWFA items. U.S. Optics are sometimes obtainable up here, but usually at approximately 140-200% above listed u.s. prices. (no thanks) Add to that, unlike some people, I think it is easier to range with a 20x as opposed to 16x, 17x or 22x. Where do they come up with these oddball magnifications anyways? I am using a variable now. IOR Valada 2.5-10x. It sits on 10x all the time, and for crows - my target of choice, I would like more magnification. If I were to stay with a variable, it would be a S&B and I simply cannot afford a PMII. I like the glass, but the extra weight and complications of a variable are just not needed on this rifle. IOR's are no longer available in Canada at any price. As a possible silly question, does anyone still make a 'Doubler'? Then I could use a high quality 10x and have it modified. Thanks for all the input. [/QUOTE]
