NitroX,

I love my old Leupold M8 2.5x20 fixed scopes. They are tiny and solid. That said a Swarofski 1-8x24 Z8i is simply magnificent. It is kind of large but supper tough and what can't you hunt with it? The red dot is really helpful on running game and in low light. The range of 1-8 is ridiculous. I love old rifle and I prefer scopes that are properly scaled to the rifle new stuff is just hot.
