The Vx 111 or older Varixiii are great scopes, although you will pay more. Their clarity is awesome and there is a built in range estimator on them. I usually put the 2.5X8 on my guns. I always leave them on the lowest power. If Something comes up quick, I can find it in the scope due to the fact that the lower power has a wider field of view. If something is further away, I have the time necessary to crank up the power. You only have to jump a nice buck once when you have that scope cranked up before you learn that lesson!
