Re: What scope do you use ?

I have a 2.5-8x Leupold on my 338 Win. Mag., which is the main rifle I hunt with these days for everything from Texas whitetails to elk, plus African plainsgame. I used it for a full gamut of plainsgame in Zimbabwe last year, and I'll use it for the full range of plainsgame plus leopard in Zambia next year.

I consider that 2.5-8x Leupold to be just about the ideal all-around scope, and it's not much bigger than a fix 4x or 6x scope is, plus it's tough, compact, features excellent optics, and it sits nice and low on the rifle. It has a wide field of view at the 2.5x setting, plenty of non-critical eye-relief, and you can crank it up to 8x for shots up to 400 yds. or so in the unlikely event that you need to take a long poke at something. It's a hard scope to improve upon for African plainsgame use or for just about any use anywhere..........
