Dem wabbits is a little bitty target. Dat scope gotta be good.

More magnification would be plum frightful, making wabbits look scary big... shocked

I only have 3 of them.

I've had exactly zero issues with them. Great scopes.

How's the eyebox compare to a Leupold 4x or 6x scope?

I've had several 1-4's over the years, but my present one's on my 16x16/6.5x57R Sauer drilling. When strictly hunting birds I take the scope off, but when hunting big game turn the scope all the way down, just in case I bump a gamebird. It's pretty easy to wingshoot a grouse with the scope on 1x--or even shoot a wunning wabbit!

Was just thinking how times have radically changed.

With todays intensely P.C. world, you'd NEVER see ole Elmer slipping up on that wascally wabbit with a WHAT!!

No, not a firearm...!

Sad state of affairs frown

But gang bangers, brandishing pistols gheto style, are somehow cool... mad

Now, back to the 1-4x20 discussion.

I'm a big fan of this scope and have one drilling 16/16/6.5x58R, combo gun 12/5.6x52R, combo gun 12/5.6x50R Mag and a bolt action in 25-204 set up with the Leupold 1-4x20mm. I use the drilling and combos for coyote hunting and the bolt action for deer. I just came back from coyote hunting in NV for 10 days and had taken the 25-204 to get some trigger time as the pelts weren't good yet and never felt under scoped even out in places I could see for miles. Even when calling these open spaces I keep them on 1x my closest shot was 10 yards on a coyote that seemed to appear out of no where. On 4x 300 yard shots on coyotes are still a piece of cake.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

i have a vx2 and a vx3 in this setup. they are perfect for the lever, pump and bolt carbines i typically hunt with. the only issue i have with the vx2 is that it is hard to adjust. i hear that leupold can fix that but i just never bother sending it back. it pretty much stays on 4x.

Have had a couple of them and currently have one on a 30 Remington pump. Elephant rifle, mostly. I like the low end's eye relief and the view. It might just be my imagination, but for me, a little bit of magnification is helpful for both eyes open shooting.

I've got three of those scopes I can think of, one of which is on a .45-70 Guide Gun that sees nothing but full-house 400 grain loads. While I don't use it for large quantity plinking, I've had it around 20 years and it's seen a lot of use in my hands and a couple friends who've borrowed it from time to time. It's never shifted zero or otherwise behaved badly.
