Some of these scopes with the big tactical dials impede carry at the balance point of the rifle. They bite into your wrist. They also catch on things. The lower profile the scope caps, the better. So far the lowest profile caps I've witnessed, are on the leupold ultralight 2.5x. That is one heck of a scope.
Somehow, sniper wannabes and match shooters have influenced the hunting rifle. Devolving from sleek, to stupid.
