Gary, I don't post much anymore but here's my two cents..
I hunt virtually every day of the year ( assuming that is what this scope is for )...
I used to use the 3.5X10 Leupold AO.. It had a reasonable size and weight but I'm not sure they make them anymore..
So I went the 4.5x14 one inch tube also with the AO.. Its the same size and weight as the 3.5x10..
This not a consideration for a dangerous game rifle.
I've had many of the more expensive, heavier, bulkier scopes and don't own a single one now..
I promise I don't miss or give up a single shot to the more expensive models and this scope is of reasonable size and weight to CARRY..
I don't sit on my ass while out hunting; I'm on the move and I carry the rifle. Size and weight is a consideration..
Yeah, it's more than 10 power.... If you don't like 11, 12, 13 and 14 don't go there !
