Found a pic of mine after I first got it, 3-9 leupold, and as a 243. Laying on a “if matched” 160” Idaho whitetail shed, just jumped about 20 head of elk in thick shiit, followed em a bit and turned up that shed. Anyhow as you can see a smaller scope fits a lot better. IMO

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
