I have a straight 6x weaver on my Ruger no1 22-250. Same sight picture everytime also elminates need for time ranging and sight picture in rushed shots. I preferred not to make my varmit rifle too complicated, i'm not using it as a bench rest rifle. Pairie dogs is a different game all together once you go beyond 300yds you have to be able to see the lil guys.

I like that mindset. I run a 6x IOR on my 25-06. I think the high magnification card is played way too often, especially on hunting scopes. 6x is plenty, as far away as I can shoot. Fewer lenses = better light transmission = brighter picture in low light conditions.
