Maximus---Like I said before, show me a European manufacturer who makes a low power fixed scope. There isn't any choice. It's variable or nothing. Just because you have "massive experience" it doesn't mean you are right either, my friend.

You are quite correct, in that European manufacturer's don't make a low power fixed scope, leaving no choice for most European's dependent upon those manufacturers. This only proves my point, that most modern manufacturers make and sell only what gives them most profit; that they have worked hard to brainwash the public into the idea that the need is for a variable scope on every rifle, and that the public needs to overlook the truth, the fact that, in most hunting situations, a variable scope is simply not needed, but is mostly for impressing those who don't know better, being massively brainwashed. What I have expressed here, are my OPINIONS about scopes on rifles, that is what was asked; I wouldn't want or expect all others to accept any or all of my opinion. What I have expressed is that my opinion on this matter is RIGHT FOR ME, based on some 40 years of extensive hunting experience with double rifles, my friend. If you prefer variable scopes, happy trails to you, but don't try to tell me that I AM WRONG on my own personal preferences, my friend.
