Rifle Scopes Which one to keep?

[45user]

Silly me but can't decide...
Just bought a new scope so one of my Leupold has to go. I am not sure which one to keep

Mark IV 10 x fixed M1 turret
Mark IV 3.5-10 x M1 turret

Re: Which one to keep?

myself I would go for the 3.5 to 10... But this would also depend on the application... What caliber rifle is it for and what are you using it for???

Keep them all...............One can never have too many !

I prefer a variable power scope over a fixed so I have to say can the 10X if you must get rid of one.

It will be on rem PSS .308 shortened barrel to 22". Yeah, I'd keep them all if I can but one has to go

Keep the fixed 10x. I had a 3.5-10 and never took it off 10x. Also you don't have to worry about if your mils are subtending correctly.

Of course what you decide to keep will eventually depend on how you intend to use the scope, and the 3.5-10x is more versatile, but remember this ...........

.....your Mk4 10x scope is a TRUE Mk4. Your Mk4 3.5-10x is basically a rebadged VX-III (or whatever they're calling them these days). The fixed power Mk4 scopes (10x, 16x and once-upon-a-time 6x) are the only REAL Mk4's, no matter what some uninformed Leupold salesman might claim!

I'd keep them both. U never know when your gonna need a spare or accidently buy a new rifle.

If you are going to use the scope for a hunting rifle, i would keep the varible 3.5-10.

If just punching paper, then stick with the 10x fixed.

IMO
