I have shared a similar thought with friends that have flat shooting cartridges intended and regularly used in western US.
However, I can also see where putting a scope on a rifle that.is otherwise perfectly suited for the intended use, like this seems to be, and not worry about using every feature. A 1-4x scope on a heavy magnum like that, with intention of using it on 20-150 yd shots, without using the advantage of the dial, isn't all that much of a handicap.
I hunted South Africa this year, and one of my take aways was that both.of.my rifles had scope that dialed down to 4x. I thought that wpukd be plenty low enough. When I go next time, my scopes will probably be in the 1-8x or 2-10x range.
