Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Pre-64 358 Winchester scope recommendations?

Darryle,

The leupold 2.5x ultralight has a smaller ocular lense diameter than most scopes. That's what I use on the 358. I've shot a lot of moose with the 358. For many years always put away moose meat that the lowest power setting on variable scopes. Within the range limitations of the 358, nobody should need much more than 3 power. I don't understand what's to be gained, overscoping a 358 with excessive magnification and scope weight.

The 2.5 x leupold is especially nice on the blr as well, gives yah more space under ocular lenses, to get your thumb on the hammer.
