That scope must have been a charm. I would be happy to show my collection of scoped, I pay good attention to choosing scopes. I prefer a scope that suits a rifle's size and purpose, rather than a scope that is simply attached with no thought to the hunting rifle/scope as a system. I did my research on many riflescopes and I got to know what is considered what. A low to medium powered scope in the 2.5x and 4x fixed power or 1-3, 1-4, 1.5-5 and 2-7 variable power ranges is all that's needed or wanted and helps to preserve the rifle's inherently fine handling traits.
