There is no such thing as a perfect • all. ar0411,4 rifle -scope combination, but there are some pretty fair compromises, available. The choice of your ,soopc will, of course, be dictated by the type of hunting you do. There is, of course, a place and situation for every power of scope manufactured today but it would be impossible to cover all of them in this column. Telescopic sights for rifles that are used for both big game and varmints; however, must fall within, certain guidelines. The scope for the dual pu ose rifle must; have a reticle that is east. tsto see in heavy cover, but not be. So coJus as to .block out varmints. at 'longer ranges;, be light enough to carry easily when big game , hunting; be low enoughin magnification (thus have a wide field of view) to use in thick brush for big; game; and be high enough in magnification to be effective on varmints at longer ranges, This may sound like a lot to ask for, -but you must remember • that Minters have been asking for it for years. The result of this. pressure is the • development of two scopes that, in. my opinion, meet all the rquirements needed. . In my opinion, the 2 to 7 power variable is the perfect scope for the varminter that becomes a once a year big game rifle. The top magnification of 7X is an excellent • choice for groundhogs and other pests at the longish ranges usually encountered, •' ' , while the hottont end OAP 'Kale provides a wide 004 f view for use in, thickly wooded, areas., The DOI Xerosshairs are probably the ;best choice as the heavy section is quite easy to pick up even in poor light yet the thin ,center portion is fine enough to allow accurate shooting at small targets. I choose the 2X to 7X.over the 3X to 9X, not only for the lower,magnification, but for the significant weight difference in. • the two Scopes. Those few ounces may not Mean Much, when strolling across a cow Pasture, but when you're slugging through a muskeg swamp in search of a big moose for your freezer, those ounces quickly begin to feel like pounds. The big game ntie that serves as an occasionevarrninter is a horse of a slightly ' different colour. While the average hunter who only gets to go after big game once a year for a week will put up; with a little extra weight, the serious trophy hunter demands that his rifle be as light and, as ,easy to handle as possible. • This is where the 1.5X to 4.5 )(shines. These scopes are short, light and provide. one of the largest fields of view available. The Dual X reticle is again probably the best choice. I personally prefer the European style reticle (same as the Dual X but minus the top heavy post), but Leupold is the only company I know in North America that manufactures it. The 4.5 power magnification is adequate for any varmint shooting done with, this type of lightweight rifle. If you own a rifle without a scope, this is a'goocl time to think about, putting one on. Before you jump; however, put a „little thought into it. If you choose either the 2X to 7X or the 11/4X to 4VX, youwon't go too far wrong..
