I want a 25.4 tube, I don't like the bulky look of a 30mm tube, but most of all I like to carry my rifle with thumb through under the scope - and usually with 30mm there's not enough room (yes I know I'm fussy and cantankerous)

A Kahles CT model in 3-9x42 has been suggested, I think I used to have one and sold it, does anyone have experience with the CT or other Kahles of that era ??

agree about the thumb under scope- thought i was the only weirdo that does that
