I've got a March 1-10x24 which i bought for driven shooting and when I got it out in the field found that seeing the barrel at 1x mag was really distracting. Result was that I wound up the mag to just enough to not see the barrel which was about 2.5x. I like higher mag for target shooting but don't go higher than 10x for my stalking. As such I would have thought a 2.5-10 or 15 would cover everything you need.
I have a 1.75-6x36mm through which I cannot see the barrel at the lowest power setting, but on my 1.5-6x42mm I can see the front sight until I turn it up to 2.5x. I think that if I have it down to 1.5x, it will be on moving boar in the forest, where I will not notice the blurry front sight behind the 4A reticle. I have two different brand 1.25-4x24 scopes where the barrel is not visible at all. And on the lowest setting, shooting with both eyes open with a #1 post or illuminated dot, these scopes are so natural.I've got a March 1-10x24 which i bought for driven shooting and when I got it out in the field found that seeing the barrel at 1x mag was really distracting.

I like the information from the manufacturers and am interested in the 2.5-15 x 56 with ballistic turret but at this price of I would like to know if anyone knows of anything better!
Only down side with the MK1 is the switch for the red dot is not posative enough and can get knocked on in the bag.
Thers a cheep clip on cover you can buy to stop this and it makes it a non issue
i think the Z4i 2.5-10 x 56 is going to fit the bill

I looked and found there reely wasn't
The way it comes to the eye, the field of view, the crispness of the immage are all superb. The crowning glory is the colour dot ballistic turret I dont need my glases to use.
I owned two Zeiss a Devari and a Conquest and neither came close. The Zeiss I have looked at that were nice cost the same
You can get a 2.5 15 56 MK1 for below £1500 second hand. I got two and both came with the mega expensive Swaro lense covers.

If you want a cheeper Swaro? then the Z6i 2-12-50 would be my second choice. A1 condition can be got for sub £1300
I just sold one (replaced with the 2.5 15 56) for £1000 which I felt was "as new" but it wasn't the BT one
