    What magnification are you running in the bush?

    I'm curious as to what magnification people are using in the tight stuff.

    My preference would be a 2-7 however my current rifle came with a reasonable quality 3-9 and the more I learn about it the more I like it... with the exception of x3 being the lowest magnification.

    Years ago we either had iron sights or x4 and we got by. That was then, now we have choice.

    So my dilemma is run the nice scope currently fitted or put on my 2-7 loopy.

    So is my preference for 2X justified or am I over thinking it.

    And for what it's worth both scopes are less than a pound and I have no interest in a 2lb monstrosity that costs twice the price of the rifle.

    In fact if we can just talk magnification preferences for the bush, that would be great.
