For practical purposes, the Leupold fixed 4X would be perfect. That statement is blaspheme. Who can think about practical when emotions are involved?

Hi, I would pick the 4x or the 1.5x5. I have a 4x on my 8x57, my 35 Whelen and my 375 Wby, my 378 Wby has a 1.5x5 on it. Randy

So building a 9.3x62. Deciding on a scope. Primary use will be for elk, moose and a future once in a lifetime grizzly hunt. Max range on elk and moose 350 yards. Grizzly probably 200 yards. Choices are as follows:
3x Leupold new version
1.5-5 Leupold
1.75-6 Leupold
3.5-10 Leupold
4x Leupold
Eyes are 46 years old and still aging:) Better off with a larger objective bell or will the smaller ones be fine? Currently running 6x42 and 3.5-10 exclusively so input for this application appreciated. Love the 9.3 x 62!!! ANY of these are the gold standard. What's wrong with another 6 x 42? Elk make me want the 3.5 x 10

Travis, how did your 9.3 project turn out? Last time we chatted you were planning a Spring bear hunt.

I have a Leupold VXII 2-7x33 on my 9.3x62 which I really like ( I also have one on a 358 Winchester). Based on the scopes listed, I too would pick the 1.75X6. It should provide all the magnification needed for the range of your 9.3.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

I will probably eventually end up with the 1.75x6, but am buying Utah708s 3x Leupold for now. I have a 458 that is needing a scope as well so worst case, I will use it a while on the 9.3 and if it doesn't work out, it goes on the 458. Lot of good feedback on here and appreciated all of it. Thank you
