On my lightweight takedown 7-08 I started with a vx6 2-12. Loved the view but it didnt feel quite right even with a beartooth cheek pad. Plus it kept sliding around on recoil. Then I tried on a 2.5x scout and wasnt right for me even tho it was on a marlin 45-70 guide gun I had. Then I put on a vx3i 1.5-5x20 and eureka! I'm done and happy. Put it on low talley lightweights.
