A quick look through my cabinet reveals not one variable power scope. So the fixed x scopes are popular here. I could be tempted by a good 6x scope with a decent elev. turret, good lenses and be lighter in weight, but otherwise , I do not need all the other stuff. My long range scope is a 20x SWFA and antelope hunting does not require anything other then decent optics, and bullet proof adjustment. So I guess I am set and probably would not be much use to the Scope industry ..........
