I'm on the search for a couple scopes. I'd like to have some
glass on both my rugers, both the RSI with the full length stock.
I'm looking at the Leopold 1.5-5x20, Nikon Monarch 1-4x20, and
the Weaver V3 1-3x20.
I'd like to stick with a straight tube scope. Anything else to look at
thats worthwhile? What would you guys do.
I had a Leupold 1-1.5x20 on my 1A 7x57 but the scope had to be sat rearward as far as possible to get a clear sight picture. I didn't like the way the rifle looked with the scope that way. It sort of looked uneven. The pics from GuyM show it really well. The rear ocular bell hangs rearwards a long way and covers the loading port. I replaced it with a 6x36 Loopy and I find it ideal. I like fixed power scopes on my single shots as it just simplifies things. I have a 4x33 on my 1S 9.3x62. I need to lean forwards half a smidgen to look through the scope when shouldered but I don't even notice it when out hunting.
