I've resisted posting on this thread, 'cause like taw1126 I'm not a scope-shooters arsehole in reality having used open sights for all my hunting, but my eyes are slowly losing their edge and the day will no-doubt come soon enough when I need glass. In anticipation I picked up a Leupold 2-7 Ultralight on special, having used a borrowed rifle fitted with one during a culling operation last year. Basically, the scope never moved off 2x unless a very deliberate long shot was required.

The advantage of an Ultralight scope for the rifles and calibres we love so much is less inertia under recoil, so less stress on the mounts, rings, and fixings generally. Also less weight to add to an already heavy rifle.

The other advantage of that scope over the 1-4 is a narrower ocular bell by 4mm, giving better bolt and knuckle clearance when cycling the action under duress!

It also has better light-gathering capability than the 1-4, having a 28mm objective.
