I've had a 15" Encore in 7mm-08 since 2000; put a 2.5-8x Leupold EER scope on it. Rarely crank it up any higher than 4x. If I were looking for another scope for it I wouldn't go any higher than 4x, at least for the way I utilize it. That 2.5-8x is kinda big for that gun, looks wise, IMHO. Back around '07-08 I put a holographic sight on it but wasn't too happy with that setup. Went back to the 2.5-8x but am considering something smaller and not any higher than 4x. Most likely a Leupold but I'd consider a few others as long as they were fairly compact.
