[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4801498, member: 15365"] Fixed power scopes are often tougher than a variable. The FXs from Leupold are great scopes. Another great fixed power is the SWFA SS but they are heavy. SUPER TOUGH scopes for $299. The FX-III 6x42 is under 14oz/FX-II 6x36 is about 10oz and the SWFA SS is 18.1-20oz but available from 6x42 to 20x42. Also available in a side focus model. The FX is better suited for a hunter but you get a lot of options with SWFA SS. I just picked up a Vortex Diamondback HP 3x12x42 off Sportmans. Its a little heavy at 18oz but for $200 shipped its great glass with lots of features. Glass is comparable to Loopie VXII or a little better to my eyes.
