You found that scope "bulky"?

You really are looking at a small pool of scopes.

If the VX6 1-6 Patrol is not too bulky, it might be a good pick. Not big turrets, nice heavy-ish duplex, auto-off illuminated dot. Keep the mount low and use low-profile rings.

ETA I just looked at the eyepiece dimensions, they are the same diameter.

The 30mm tube is how the objective stays big enough for good light at 5x or 6x. The 20mm obj on a 1" scope means lower low-light performance.

Just a suggestion.

You might be happy with a 2-7x scope with a 1" tube.
Any scope with a 30mm tube is too bulky for a levergun... or for any ordinary deer hunting rifle, in my opinion.
