fixed power scopes

The 1X4 Leupold is a great little compromise scope for someone looking to stay light and compact but yet have a magnification up to 4 power. Your assumption of the 20 mm objective from lens in low light is correct, it will not be as bright as a scope with a larger diameter objective. That being said NY law for big game states there is no shooting before sunrise or after sunset, a 20 mm objective lens on a good quality scope still lets in plenty enough light to get a good sight picture prior to the sun actually setting. I checked sighting ability of my little 2.5X compact several times this past season with actual sunset and time by my watch and would have had no problem seeing well enough to take a shot during legal shooting times had one been available.

This is the very scope I have on my Winchester 1300 for turkey and for deer hunting before I got a rifle. The Leupold 1x4

with the extra heavy reticle works very nicely in fading light as well.

Have no fear on light I own 6 of these scopes and they are one of my favorites. I have them on 22's-35whelen and they work perfectly as a light weight compact scope.

How do you guys feel about fixed power scopes that are holographic like the Vortex Optics SPR-1303 Spitfire 3x Prism Scope or the Vortex StrikeFire 2 which I've read about as being a great scope on https://tangotactics.com/best-ar-scope/


I don't like any magnification on a lighted reticle. To me they just don't work well. And at 1.2 and 1.3 lbs that's a little over double what most 2-4x fixed scopes weigh.

i'm really liking these little 4x scopes especially the 3030. the top target is my 3006 the bottom is the 3030.those high to the right where all the last shot from 5 shot groups? i'm not sure if it was a hot barrel or not never seen that before.it got to windy to keep going.maybe tomorrow.
