Thread: Hunting scopes

Hi, I have a couple questions about hunting scopes and what people recommend / like using...

I have a 3-9x40 Leupold VX1 on my 223 and it's a great scope, I don't really have any issues with it other than I get quite bad fatigue in my eye looking through it (as in completely blurred vision at max zoom) and have been thinking of upgrading to something with more zoom maybe 4-12x40...

Does anyone on here have any advice on eliminating fatigue as in would more zoom = less strain on my eye? I mainly use the rifle on Hares and rabbits, small stuff etc so a bit more zoom would be great for those longer shots...

What size / zoom scopes are others running on 223 bolt rifles?

Cheers Nick
