Dingo, depending on your rifle's length of pull and how you lean into the scope will matter. That said the 3x is more mounting friendly than the 4x since the objective end is the same diameter all the way out. The 3x scope tube is longer than my VX-II 1x4 but has a bit less eye relief or so it seems to me. I really like my 3x with the heavy duplex. I mounted it on a Savage 99.
