Rev: What mike one said! Also a 1-4x Leupy would go good. It begs for a straight objective! Mine had a Leupold straight 2.5
Funny y'all mention it: that was exactly what I was thinking. The VX3 1.5-5 comes with a German 4 reticle, which I absolutely love. I'm also looking at the 1.5-5 with illuminated German 4 (Firedot 4), but it has a 30mm tube. I wonder if that chubby tube might not have a bit too much bulk.
