Yip short barrel helps for sure
Also the profile and the fact that it's 30 cal means it's fairy light
I have a Leupold VX2 4-12 x 40 AO fine duplex on my Windham Varmint Exterminator in a Warne cantilever mount. Intended to use it on goats out to 300 yd. but I end up shooting a lot of critters close-in too.
Only disadvantage is that the eye relief gets pretty long down at 4x.
