[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1604103, member: 93846"] That is very reason that I rarely use my Leupold 1.25-4x scope anymore. I still like my VX-3 1.5-5x20mm scopes okay but, for the last 25 years I've found myself only buying the now discontinued VX-3 1.75-6x32mm for my low power needs, precisely because that is the lowest power that most of my barrels/front sights don't come into view enought to distract from my intended target. I've killed plenty of hogs running in the thick, at under 15 yards with my Leupold VX-3 1.75-6x32mm set on 1.75 power. I ALWAYS carry my rifles with their scopes set at the lowest power! Always! If I dial up the power, it is with reticle on game and I dial it back down immediately after the animal is down or the shot has pasted. When in the field, I find myself checking that the power ring is all the way at the lowest setting often, just in case... [/QUOTE]
