I have an old Weaver 4X on my Ruger 77/44, it has the post reticle. I liked it so much that I got 2 Weaver 1-3.5X and mounted them on Remington 7600P and 7615, they are great, hold zero, and never fog up. They give enough field of view for close in stuff at 1X, and then you can get right out to 200 meters at 3.5X. Since I have other rifles for real precision work they are plenty good. BTW both of those Remingtons shot very well out of the box, then I learned that the barrels on both is full floating, which probably accounts for the suprising accuracy for 16.5" barrels. The .223 is livable, but I would have to be in real deep dodo before I fired that .308 indoors. BIG flash/bang.
When I was a kid-looong ago-I remember seeing an ad showing a guy driving nails with a Weaver. They are rugged and simple, I think they are the best bang for the buck in a scope.
