Gentlemen, thanks for your opinions and info. With a fixed, I'd rather not go over 6 or 7 power, for possibilities of a close shot. I may look a bit for the Swaro 6x42 PF. If a variable, I certainly do not need over 10x as 300 yds. is long range to me. I have a couple of extra scope mounts for my K95 so I could put a oversize scope in one of them and just use it on the rifle for hunts that have a good possibility of action late in the evening. These mounts take you right back to zero when you swap them. RJ
So light weight really doesn't have to be considered?
