[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1506098, member: 95344"] I'd probably go for the swap. I think your reasoning will probably be the same as mine due to our backgrounds. I'd consider the 300 blackout more of a duty/ hunting setup so a low powered variable makes more sense. As with all duty special focus on resetting the scope to the lowest power has to be maintained. A fixed 6X should be fine on a 30-06 unless you hunt predominately in the woods. Then another variable 1-4x or 1-6x is probably better. The only caveat is if the rifle is to be used on dangerous game. I had a rifle for caribou/ bear in 45-70 with a 1-5.5x. I trained hard for a year prior to going to Alaska. I messed up once and left it on 5.5X, one scenario missed. So I put a fixed 2.5X on it. [/QUOTE]
