I like the 2x7 best for this kind of hunting. I have an old Redfield 2x7 tracker thats been on all my big rifles. 338, 45-70 and 416 rem Mag. I can' t hurt that old scope its 32 years old now. If it ever goes to hell I don' t know what I would do. I may look at the new 2x7 Leuplod rifleman. Got to have one in case the old Redfield gives out before I do. It now has an easy life on my old 6.5x55 swedish mauser. A ***** cat.
