A little more versatility than the 1.5X5X20 Leupold is the 1.75X6X32 VX3. I've used it on two safaris at ranges from 25 to over 350 and light transmission is better than the 5X.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
