I have a Ruger MKII 6.5 CM med. heavy barrel Varmint/Target rifle that weighs in at 12lbs, and is much too heavy for hunting anything but paper, pd's or other game that would not require it to be carried too far. I have a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 scope mounted on the rifle. This is the most powerful scope I own and is an overkill for my needs. I probably could have mounted an SWFA SS fixed 10x42 scope (which I have on another rifle) and would have been just as happy.
