I have had viable power scopes in the past, and still do have one on my .22
But on my .243 and 30-06 they are fixed.
What i found with variable scopes was i always ended up turning them back to 6x
On my previous visits to Montana i have brought the Schmidt and Bender 8x56, but it is a bit of a lump, in fact with the mounts it weighs 2lb's
So i was thinking of swapping them around and put the Schmidt and Bender 6x42 on the 30-06, good idea?
What are your favored scopes in terms of magnification?
The other reason is i am considering buying a Blaser R8 rifle, but they a bit heavier than i am used to, so i thought, shave a bit of weight off with the 6x42 for the Montana hunt.
Cheers
