This isn’t about brand so much as specs. 1.5-9, 2-10, 3-9, illuminated reticle, 32mm, 40mm, 44mm?
I’m thinking about a 2 rifle battery to hunt the world….first rifle is a .375 and using some
@Philip Glass logic I opted for a broader magnification range and did a 1-8x24…one rifle to do it all if need be. Good advice thanks Phillip.
The 2nd rifle is a 280ai (yes I already know it’s not a common caliber)….it currently wears a 3-9x40 non illuminated. After putting the 1-8 on the 375 I think I like the illumination. Is it needed on plains game, red stag, white tail, boar, pronghorn, caribou? Can’t hurt right?
So if I’m going to replace what is the perfect magnification for a stalking rifle that could be used from say 350 yards in? This isn’t for 1000 yard hunting.
I’ve spotted a light weight 1.5x9x32 but I’m thinking with modern optics why not higher top end magnification? I understand exit pupil, etc, but modern good glass, I don’t find the objective diameter to be critical.
Also, I don’t want to go over medium rings….I don’t want a huge objective or adjustable turrets…it needs to fit on a blue walnut rifle.
So, give me your opinions….
