    I had a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 on my GSR, they are great scopes for the money.

    I have used a Trijicon 1-8 as my main hunting scope for a couple of years now-I like it a lot. its heavier than the z6 1-6 I had before but the extra power helps, as does being able to dial.

    How many have a true 1x. Is it more important than a good fitting rifle and scope? I've shot animals on the run with an old 6x40 by winking at them, both eyes open swing onto it shut the left... And I'm no Annie Oakley

    they haven't got the most elegant proportions looks wise but with a bit of use I'm sold on them for utility

    Yeah I've had 2 vx freedom scopes that I thought were good value. This is my only hunting rifle so I dont mind spending a bit. That being said a z8i will put me ir in the spare bed.... it's a fucking tightrope

    the 2x7 loopies are great bush scopes...Ive used 3x9x40mm loopy for main rifle /bush scope for last 15 years,its not on rifle only cause the wee m8 4x is better than any other Ive used for bush work.
    field of view is important but gun fit/how well your scope fits YOU is more important than anything else.
    the wee 1-5 loopies are awesome too...
    I dont dial so dont see need for top end loopies...the tail end ones do job just fine for me.

    I've just got a Sightron S-TAC 2-10x32 which is a good fit for my Sako A1. They're quite reasonably priced over here and lightweight.

    In one inch tubes, The little 3-9x36 z3 swaro is worth a look. A bottom end of 3x is ok in the tight stuff. The 2.5-8 and 2-7x leupold’s also. Not quite as bright though to me.

    In 30 mm the 1.6-6x42 zeiss, kahles and swaro are very bright but are a bit heavier. Also sfp.
