All of my personal rifles have fixed power scopes on them except for my 280 AI build which has a VXIII 4.5-14-40mm B&C reticle (prefer hold over reticles)joelkdouglas":qsrhvcli said:Almost all of my hunting rifles have a 6x Leupold on them.
Leupold has earned some negative feedback lately (poor tracking when dialing, loss of zero, etc), but the Leupold 6xs I use have given me good service. Note that I don’t dial at all with them, I prefer holdover reticles.

cloverleaf":1vkq97pj said:fixed powers are harder to find in my price range- BUT - strictly for hunting a fixed power would be my choice if I had the cash. I set all my variables to 4x or 6x when hunting and leave them anyway. Don't seem to have enough time to turn up and down when the right shot presents itself. But then I cant hit much beyond 300 yds any way CL
I'm like you and Joel in that I love my fixed power scopes. Every time you pull it up everything looks the same each and every time. When hunting with my 280AI and the 4.5-14x40mm Leupold the scope is always set on 6x when I carry it around. I've NEVER felt handicapped with close distance shots with any rifle using a 4 or 6x scope.SJB358":6vhqnbth said:All of my serious rifles have fixed 6X's or 4X's on top of them. So far I haven't had an issue with them and they are always set on the right power :mrgreen:
