[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 67982, member: 428"] I've also been considering fixed power scopes. For decades the military stuck with fixed power scopes. You can get very high quality glass for a small fraction of the cost if it's fixed power. Also, because you don't have so many moving parts inside that tube you could damn near drop it out of an airplane without losing zero. Weight is also substantially reduced with a fixed power. The last 3 rifle tags I've filled have been at 4x. There are a lot of long range enthusiasts out there who slap a $3-500 10x on their rifle and ring steel at 1000+ yds. Based on my vast (Internet) knowledge, I surmise that a proper reticle and shooting fundamentals makes a fixed power an excellent choice. [/QUOTE]
