And I didn't feel that disadvantaged for longer shots either.

An older 1 - 4x Leupod has come my way. Looking thru it at 1x I'm most impressed and I think I could have no problems shooting on that setting in bush/close up.

hope you looking after that 3x for me Zimmer......... Im still keener than a keen thing for swapzies lol

yes lower power scopes are great.
