Okay, I have narrowed it down to 8x57JR or 9.3x74.

I am looking at the Chapuis Series three (on a 28 Ga frame) which is 6.25 lbs without a scope. I am planning on putting Leupold illuminated reticle VX-R series in either 2x7 x 33 or 3x9x 40. yes I know, what the hell do you want a 3x9 on it.the size difference between the 2x7 and the 3x9 is not that much, weigh is 12.7 oz vs. 15.3 oz and legnth is 11.3" for the 2x7 and 12.7" for the 3x9.
I am thinkng the larger objective will help in low light, early morning and late evening . My eyes suck in low light now and between the illuminated reticle and the larger objective, it should help.
what are your thoughts. anyone use one of these scopes?
its not like I am adding uneccesary weight. esopecially if I am going ot go with the 9.3. with mounts it will be under 8 lbs scoped, probably lcoser to 7.5 lbs.

of course it will go in EAW pivot mounts.

comments please.
