I used a 1.75-6x Leupold in Namibia and found the power range ideal for me but even better in the grey-brown bush was the heavy duplex in it. I've also used the German 4a and liked it in those situations as well.

A lot of scopes will work but IMO stay away from a fine reticle for use on a big black animal that will probably be in the bush.


Any preference between HD and German 4 in that scope?

Thanks

Mike; I used the HD because I believe the #4 was not available in the 1.75X6. The #4 is available in the 1.5X5X20 but I think only with the ill reticle which is what I have on my 416R. j

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…”
