About the only fixed scope currently made that I could recommend is the Leupold FX 2.5 anything else has such a limited FOV that I couldn't use one, even the 2.5 is way less than say a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5. I have one on one of my coyote calling rifles and it is nice, covering everything out 300 yards with large eyebox and FOV on the low end to make target acquisition extremely fast even on moving game. It is lightweight and has a proven reliability over the years from calling coyotes to African DGRs.

I've been shooting scopes at game, far more than the average big game hunter and think fixed X scopes are just a hold over from the first marginally reliable variables. The only place I see a fixed power scope even in the running might be shooting over bait but then lightweight isn't on the top of the needed list.

But each to his own, good luck on your search.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.
