Personally, I'm a big fan of it as I just prefer smaller scopes on most rifles. I've got one on a LA Ruger M77 in Low Leupold rings and it fits just right. The other is on a Short Action Remington. I guess it's personal preference but I was never really a fan of the 3.5x10. I never found myself needing 10x and just preferred the appearance of the smaller scope. I guess it's whatever floats your boat.
