Thank's gentlemen... I'm still undecided but leaning towards the 1.75x6... the LA M70's are looong in the receiver dept... I already have some all-steel Warne Maxima bases for them and will be using Burris Zee's... the 1.75x6 will make getting the scope low easier than the 2.5x8. I've never "needed" more than 6x for big game.
John, you pegged the Ludd's and my motivation... there is a "new" Luddite movement abroad... course there's really nothing new under the sun!
