I have my 2.5-8x32 Conquest on my Number One. My 1.5-5x20 is on my .338 Federal. Both are fairly short rifles and are good setups for Jungle Elk.
Bought 1.5-5x20 Leupold VX3 for Jungle Rifle.

Yup, I'll bet they are! Haven't hunted the Roosevelts myself yet.
Bought my first low-powered scope, a 1-4x Leupold at least 25 years ago. Put it on a tang safety Ruger 77 in .300 Win mag. Some thought that an odd combination, but it worked out real well for me for the several years I owned that rifle & scope. I was sold on low-power scopes for some applications then and there.

Guy,
Those are great pictures. Hunting the thick stuff, where you smell 'em before you see 'em. :grin:

Thanks. I actually think it was an old article from Finn Aagaard that headed me down the road of small, low magnification scopes. Some kind of comparison he did with a low powered scope vs iron sights for speed & accuracy at modest distance. Likely in the early 1980's. He was very impressed with the low powered scopes as I recall.
Dumped all those old magazines and articles years ago in one of our military moves. Too much stuff to haul around.
