That's a good looking scope. I may try me one of those.

I rather like the Pig-Plex reticle for calling coyotes in heavier cover and have made shots from just beyond my bootlaces to 20 yards. I have it on a compact 20P bolt action. The scope wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have "Pig Plex" etched on the reticle where you have to look at it every time you look through the scope. That's about as cheesy as it gets. Sheeit, maybe that Big Stick guy can get Leupold to etch him one with "Hint" on it. 😄

100% agree the 30mm tube itself offers no advantage on a lever gun. That is unless you can get much better glass in a 30mm versus a 1" scope which makes 30mm scopes a relevant consideration on a lever rifle. The 30mm tube will allow a 24mm objective in a straight-tube model, a 1" will not have more than 20 or 21mm.

OP, I have a Leupold 1.5-5x20 on my BLR levergun. ... That's my default scope for what the OP described.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

True - but there's no significant advantage in equal quality glass unless you need the adjustment range for long range dialing.

A 20% increase in objective diameter can certainly be noticeable.
