I use 1.5-5X Leupolds on most of my large game guns. I find that setting them on 2X is best for me for quick shooting. Lower power gives me the appearance of negative magnification. I have one of the 100 or so Left Hand Ruger stainless Alaskans in .375 Ruger. I use a 1.5-5X Leupold and a 3-9 Zeiss in two sets of mounts. As I realize more and more the versatility of this caliber, the 3-9 is the scope most often mounted. The Leupold is a very reliable backup should anything happen to the Zeiss.
