Thanks for posting Joel. I was thinking of you during this thread. And some previous threads and comments of yours and choices of scopes either by your customers or your choice presumably.

As you say, none of those scope makers make 26 mm tibed scopes any more. The 30 mm tube? Now they seem 35 mm or even thicker.

I've considered this for a double rifle scope. These monstrosities are out of place. For a sleeker . 375 side by side. As Colin has said for his battery, a Leopold seems out of place. For me a 1-4x Leopold Firedot? 30 mm tube ?

I'd want at least at 6x on the top range of a .275.
