I actually prefer the smaller,light and compact scopes. Most of my hunting us done under 100 yards, so I like a 1.5-2X up to 7 or 8X with 32mm-36mm objectives. Right now the Kahles 2-7X36 is my favorite but I am looking forward to trying the new Vortex Razor HD LH 1.5-8X32 and possibly the new Leica in the same size and power.
