There really isn't that much difference in size/weight between the 3.5-10 Leup and the 3-9 Conquest.....the Leupold looks trimmer, though.

I like Dober's suggestion of a 6X on a light mountain rifle....unless a guy is totally "variable dependent"... smile

That said my pal has a 3.5-10 on his Mashburn and that is a pretty light rifle consideing the caliber. It sure won't break you down on a mountain.



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
