The perfect rifle
Toa many 'people put a lot Of time, effort
4114 mpneynto cht,104ing what they feel is
the perfect rifle, and then handicap,
themselveS by putting the wrong scopo,oe
oo ,seope at all on it, 1 can. never
understand why a person would purchase a
.300 Winchester magnum, and use it with
open sights Or why anyone would put a six
or eight -power scope on a 30.30 lever
action. 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.. '
