JGray - +1 IMO, those are sensible scopes for the intended purpose. Take a CZ452FS as a example - would you want to mount a scope w/ high power & 56mm objective on such a svelte piece?
That would be akin to the Hubble telescope and better suited to counting the rings of Saturn. Sure, you could do it but it would look a bit odd. Mine has a older Weaver 2-7X remounted from a M600 in .308W. It just looks 'right'. Homesteader
I had a couple of Mueller 4.5-14's on rimfires until recently - just to damn big. I do like the smaller size of the Weaver, but in all honesty, my favorite scope for varminting (rimfires and centerfires) is a Leupold 4-12 AO.
