Thread: Small objective lens scopes?

I have had several small scopes and I miss the light and compact aspect of them.
1-4x20, 2-8x32, fixed 2.75x26.5.
The 1-4 was for day time bush hunting with a course #4 reticale and I really like it. Still have it and it will move to my son's CZ 512 22wmr.
the 2-8x32 the cross hair's were too fine for my use so it got moved on.
the 2.75x26.5 is a reconditioned (recoated and gased) 1960's german scope which is still a great scope. son shot a goat using it recently and it still gets out.

I'm not doing long multi day tops hunts so extreme weight reduction is not so important, plus I wanted some extra power for shooting paper and 2-300 mtr shots.
However my 2 commonly used rifles have 2-10x42 and 4-16x44 scopes.
Also remember that as you age your eyes can't open as much so an exit pupil size of 5-6mm is all you need. at 5mm a 30mm objective lens would allow you to use up to 6x magnification before you start to loose performance.
