I have three Leupold M8's fixed 4x, a Leupold 2-7 that is never moved off 4 power except for target shooting, a Leupold 2.5-8 which sits at 4 x, A Leup 1.5-5 which stays at 3.5 x (dunno why not 4x)...

At night time possum shooting I have a 1.5-5 on 22. That gets used on 1.5x. To much mag at night time can be a pita to find target..

1 - 5 x 24 vx5 fire dot, red dot good in bush and cross hairs good for longer shots, yes scope is heavy compared to some, but my rifles light so evens out I figure. I use about 1.5 magnification...

Swaro z6i 1-6, I'd like to get a z8i 1-8 one day. I think the next generation of hunting scopes may be something like true 1x and then up to 10x. March, Eotech, Vortex, Sig already have offerings...

1.5x for proper bush. Goes up to 5x, so useful for the occasional longer shot.

For me, as a card carrying old fudd, my preference would be for a 2.5 or 3 fixed power scope. I was glad to see some others had plumped for these. If you are the sort of hunter that leaves your scope...

My guns are locked up and a bastard to get at - the rings I got are an Aussie brand, steel and are fixed at one side - they clamp from the opposite side. I looked at those things and wondered why...

I've always been a fan of lower powered scopes, ever since I bought my first 3x Weaver way back in 1976. Never feel under scoped using them out on the tops either. Favourite would probably have to be...
