Hunted with a 2-7x33 and a 3-9x40 for 30 yrs or so, they did what I needed done. The temptation to put on a higher mag scope is there, I partially gave in on a 4.5-14x44 Zeiss Conquest, but, it is also on a gun that is not real nice to pack around on its own, but will work nice on an open country stand. For the range gun I am setting up now, I gave in and went overboard with a 34mm 4.5-30x56 FFP scope, I really like it, it was worth the loot, but it is a tank, not taking it hunting. Ruger #1 I set up last year has a z3 2.5x10x42 on it, I like it, not too bulky and it works on that gun, for me. The SXS has a Z6 1-6x24 on it, it doesn't need any more than that, and its on a QD setup so i can have it in the daypack if I want it, and then use a 2.5 Deltapoint reflex sight for the usual less than 200 yds stuff, as it is less obtrusive to carry on the gun.
