For me, as a card carrying old fudd, my preference would be for a 2.5 or 3 fixed power scope. I was glad to see some others had plumped for these. If you are the sort of hunter that leaves your scope...

My guns are locked up and a bastard to get at - the rings I got are an Aussie brand, steel and are fixed at one side - they clamp from the opposite side. I looked at those things and wondered why...

I've always been a fan of lower powered scopes, ever since I bought my first 3x Weaver way back in 1976. Never feel under scoped using them out on the tops either. Favourite would probably have to be...

Fixed 3x on both my bush rifles, they weigh bugger-all - and both have lightweight return to zero rings so I can throw them in the daypack. If you're hunting slips or counting on cross-gully shots...

My deer rifle sports a 1-6x36 Zeiss. Absolutely love it. It’s my do everything rifle. Good for the tight stuff, and plenty for longer shots on deer sized targets.

I would stick with what you have. It comes down to rifle fit - if the rifle fits and points exactly where you are looking when shouldered and there is no looking for the animal, perfect. Shooting...

3-9 kahles. 4a reticle. Good combo. As chainsaw suggested, a 2-10 or 12 would give you more options.

I've just finished a sub 6 pound 30-30 Contender carbine and put a fixed 2.5x Leupold Ultralight for bush stalking But a 2.5-8 VX3 would be my best pick

I use to run a 1.75-5 x 20 scope in the bush. It definitely got me a couple a deer with the wide field of view. I prefer 2ish in the bush. Current scope is a 2-12.
