A big consideration for me, also, was that I want this scope to do double-duty on my .325 BLR. I have to mount scopes as low as they'll go on that rifle due to the comb. In extra-lows a 3.5-10x40 wouldn't clear the barrel.
I think you made a GREAT choice!
Well, my first impression is I like it. I haven't shot the rifle with it on there yet. Midway [bleep] up and sent a wrong ring in the talley package so I have to get the correct talleys to go on my extreme weather. My pre 64 fwt is ready to rock and roll though
