I am trying to decide what scope to put on a Ruger No 1 in 450/400 NE 3”. I have always been a fixed power scope guy but finding a 2.5x or 3x (loved the Leupold 3x) scope is getting more difficult so I am also looking at 1-4X and 1.5-5x scopes. I know that some people don’t care what the gun looks like with a scope on it but I do, as long as it performs well. I like the looks of the Ruger with a straight tube objective, it just looks right. I would prefer a 1” over a 30mm tube and if it had a #4 reticle it would be a huge plus. Any real world enlightenment on a big boomer with a low power scope?

Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets
