HA! when you say 4x32 isn't much mag these days, well here's a story for you. when my brother in law took his danish hunting license about 10 years ago, the practical shooting test resulted in him being laughed at by the other students, as he at the time had borrowed my zeiss 4x32 on his tikka 6.5x55. the other guys were having a laugh and ridiculed him, they all had telescopes and wound them up to x25 or so for the 100m test.
well, he was the only one who A. was done with his test in a couple of minutes, and B. was the only one who passed first time. seems all the other students couldn't keep the crosshairs still enough on such high mag. on the 4x32, it was just point and shoot at the black dot. job done.
I got him on a buck this summer, over 250yds, borrowed my old mauser .243 with the 4x32, zero'd 1" high at 100, held high shoulder and landed squarely in the H/L...job done.
what more can you ask for?
oh, did I say it's beautiful, aesthetic, light, great for woodland
