Out of all I've tried I like this one best for my needs. It's fast on low power and the glass is amazing on high power. I went with the 2.5-10, I think the 1-4 is probably more popular though. I just think the 2.5-10 works better for hunting and target shooting, well for me anyway. In the very unlikely event it was pressed into a defensive role I'm sure it would work just fine. I think the Leupold 1.5-5X20 illuminted would work for me too.
