[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1258819, member: 84520"] Good Morning, azhunter5555, I like bosstom's recommendation. I like my scopes' objectives to be mounted as close to barrels as possible. This is the primary reason I don't own large objective scopes. With scopes mounted low on rifles, my eye is in line with eyepieces when I shoulder my rifles. Of course, what works for me might not work for you. My advice is to try different rings until you find the perfect height for you. As an aside, I own primarily Leupold scopes. After over 40 years of big game hunting, I've come to the conclusion that not much has improved since the Vari-X II 3x9x40 was introduced. That used to be the gold standard of hunting scopes. With that out of the way, my favorite scope is my 25+ year-old Vari-X II 4x12x44 AO. But I'd never opine that it's better than the Vari-X II 3x9. It's just merely my opinion. I do like my Vari-X III's and VX-3's, but I can't say that they're better than the Vari-X II series, assuming, of course, that the criteria are reliability, fog proof, eye relief, and ease of acquiring targets. Marketers can be ingenious at separating us from our money. This is especially true in fishing. It has been said that tackle manufacturers make tackle to catch fishermen, not fish. When I hear scope salesmen slinging, "...light gathering," I know he's selling sizzle, not steak. Scopes can't gather light. [/QUOTE]
