IMHO the classic 4x Zeiss "Diatal" with a 26 mm tube on the top rifle is much less disgusting than the modernistic Kahles variable with it's 30 mm tube and clumsy magnification ring on the lower one. And I have long accepted the fact that the Brits never succeeded to make a nice looking scope mount. All their mounts look somewhat squarish like designed by an engineer of heavy machinery.

I also believe the 4x scope is the "ideal" stalking scope and ideal for the break action rifle. In fact I and some friends have specially ordered five of the steel tubed Schmidt & Bender 4x36 1A scopes for such use.
