I've got a doublerifledrilling in 9,3x74R

I used to have a Leupold 1,5-5x20 in a ERA pivot mount. I bought it because it looked pretty neat, but I did not like the scope...:

It gave me to little magnification with too little field of view. Although it is a very sturdy scope and beeing the reference for years I find that you have several better choices today.

I traded mine for a Zeiss Victroy 3-9x42mm 1" It doesn't look that bad, and it offers a quite good field of view compared to the magnification. It also enables me to to hunt in the twilight, and go for a distant shot if wanted.

If my funds hadn't been limited, I would've bought a Swarovski Z6 1,7-10x42. It has anything you want in a riflescope.

If however you do not want to pay a preimium for a riflescope, the european 1,5-6x42 or 2,5-10x42 would be good choices.

You'll also se that some of those scopes offer a whole lot more field of view than the little 1,5-5x...
