Thanks guys. I've considered the leupold 4X 28mm. I assume that a fixed power would be more durable because of the fact that it has less moving parts (not for sure). I wonder if I'll miss the luxury of the variable scope when shots get longer although I usually set my self up to have shots within a 100 yards even with a rifle, mainly because of the areas that I hunt so I'm not sure if I need more than a 4X. Another concern is if I would be better off with a 32mm objective (variable power) over a 28mm objective (fixed power) when it comes to target acquisition and light gathering in low light conditions.
thanks.
