My 7x57 only wears a 1.5-4.5x Monarch. I have a 2-7 on my Knight.

I have 3 scopes 1.5x 5 Leupolds. I have accurately shot several deer at approx. 190 yards, and I have no idea how many with the 1.5 setting at 100. Practice. I like the larger field of view, clarity and light gathering of the lowe magnifications.

I have four guns with 4X fixed scopes. Never felt any lacking for game out as far as I care to shoot, which is in the 200 yard max range.

Unless you hunt in extremely thick woods, the 3-9 x40 is hard to beat.Ray

Before we were allowed magnification I used 1x scopes. Its amazing what that aiming point can do for your group size. At 100 yards I would have shot at a deer any day of the week with that 1x scope.

Then I put a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32mm on my Black Diamond. I had no problem hitting a paper plate at 150 yards. 100 would have been a cake walk. But I do admit I like the highest setting for distances over 50 yards.

After more scopes were obtained I could I really like a 2-7x32mm scope. 2x when I am walking in the woods in thickets and the more open I get, the more power I crank. That 7x would do nice field shooting.

I think that scope your looking at would be fine for 100 and more yards.

Personally I would look for a higher quality scope in a fixed 4X power. If you consider scope power range as quantity. Then consider scope quality as better glass. I much prefer quality over quantity.

In other words give me a higher grade 4X or 6X over a lesser grade variable. Every time. Tom.

Thanks for the tips guys. Here is what I am looking at:

Nikon scope.


I want to pull the trigger and buy two. But I need your last thoughts on this scope.

Awhile back, Natchez had Nitrex tr2 scopes on sale/clearance.
These scopes were the same as "Weaver Super Slam" scopes-except Japan made.
Very good scopes for the money!!

Good price and scope. Even if they do overcharge for shipping.

That should be a great scope. If I didn't have a Nikon already on my Disc rifle, that would be headed to my door right now.
