[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1518912, member: 73479"] It sounds to me as if your main use is going to be hunting with some range time thrown in for fun. From my prospective a lighter scope on my hunting rifle is my main focus ay this time. Now please understand I'm getting a little long in the tooth and packing a 10, 11 lb hunting rifle has become more of a issue. For me the 3-15, 3-18 are plenty for a hunting scope. Also I feel the lower power is nice for carrying the rifle for those closer or in the brush shots. Even though I strive to be capable of taking shots in the 600 to 800 yard range most of my shots end up being in the 100 yd or less range. A good quality scope with good glass in the 3-18 with a smaller objective may not gather as much light as the larger objective scope but I have never felt that the smaller objective was insufficient. Now someone mentioned the March scope. I don't have one but will admit I would sure like to have one. They look like a very interesting scope with both ends of the power range covered. Good luck with your choice and shoot safe. [/QUOTE]
