Leupold fx3 6x42: great balance of power, light transmission and simplicity - Leupold FX-3 6x42mm Rifle Scope, 1" Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

The FX3 6x42 is an ideal scope for hunting in the woods, fields and open prairies. It offers reasonable magnification for reasonable yardage (<200 yards), great light transmission and simplicity as you don't have to worry about messing with a magnification ring. The "less stuff I have to worry about" benefit allows me to concentrate on placing and making the shot...not the perfect magnification. The scope's 100% no fault guarantee works as Leupold stands behind their product and their service is second to none. Sure, you can can 2 to 3 times more for a German or Austrian scope but why?
