Good luck. I've recently been looking for a good, lightweight, low power variable to put on a lever gun and there ain't any. Even Leupold fuucked up their 1-4x20 and 1.5-5x20 with CDS turrets and stupid ass reticles unsuited for close range hunting in dark woods. Everything else is too big and/or heavy with giant eye bells, huge power rings, goofy ass throw levers, 30mm tubes, turrets the size of an Aztec burial mound and/or reticles that look like a goddam Christmas tree. Came to the conclusion I'm going to have to buy used because NOBODY makes a good HUNTING scope for a lever gun anymore.
Preach, brother!
Agree with the sentiment. The 1.5-5x20 was always the easy button for a decent quality lightweight, compact scope. I have a few of the VX-2 ultralights, which are also among my favorites. That clean, used ultralights are bringing about $100 more than they sold for when new is probably a good indicator of supply vs. demand for scopes of this type.
Guess I will need to turn in my man card now.
