RE: Scope Quandary: Here I Go AGAIN!
i think that folks really do miss out by not trying a good fixed power scope.Among my fixed power scopes are a FXIII 6X42 Leupold and a 6X42 Zeiss. Both are excellent scopes and they are really good in low light. Sometimes i hunt hogs at night with the rifles these scopes are mounted on.They are the best low light scopes i have ever seen:The Leupold has an edge over the Zeiss.
Fixed power scopes have fewer moving parts and are less prone to go haywire than variable power scopes.
