gunner, 15.5 0z seems heavy, but your NF's start around 20 oz...  DF LOL, ounces never mattered to me DF, specially when I'm wearing a 20lb pair of mud caked Lacrosse pacs!  'Cause you a Hoss... Normal folk may be able to tell the difference between a 9# and an 8 1/2# gun...  DF Yes, but even the normal man can take a good dumpo and lose 3 or 4pounds.   Sorry for the visual ;]

Looking at scopes for a 9.3X62 bolt action. I can't see taking shots much longer than 250 yds or so. I am kind of thinking a fixed 6 or even 4x, but wanted some 24hr input.
Appreciated! A fixed 4x would be perfect IMO. And that scope and caliber might just be perfect for rabbits! Well, maybe with a 286gr solid??

I put a 4x Leupold on my CZ 550 American. I shot several feral cows with it at 15-120 yards. All required quick shooting, and it worked just fine. It's VERY fast up close in the brush. The only improvement would be an illuminated reticle, but Leupold doesn't offer that. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

I have a 3x on mine. Were I going to Africa, I would replace it with something in the 1.5-5 or 1.5-6 range.

A fixed 4x would be perfect IMO. Yup!! ..... I've used 4x Leupolds on several 375magnums and 35Whelens as well as 1.5-5s and 2.5-8s. All worked well and would be just fine on a 9.3.

2-8X42 Zeiss Conquest DL on my 35 Whelen, 2-10X42 Zeiss Conquest HD5 on my 358 Norma Mag. Lurk in the Cabela's bargain cave or watch Midway's clearance sales to catch these at great deals. I paid less than 7 bills each.

If I ever manage to get one built, it'll get a 3x Leupold...think it would be the perfect combination of function and looks.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
