I have the Leupold 1.5x4 on my 41 bbs and I believe it to be about perfect.

I have the Nikon version of that (1-4x) on my Marlin. It’s a great scope. I’m bummed they decided to not make riflescopes anymore.

I have a Nikon 2-7 on my BB 45 Colt. Need a hammer extension but otherwise great setup.

I agree Red, I have a few of their scopes and love 'em.
I just bought a Vortex 2x7x32 that was on sale.
Not sure where it's going at the moment, but I have it on hand for whatever I decide.
It's my second, I put one of their 3z9's on a buddies 270 last year and he was tickled.
Leupold quit making it, but if you can find a Redfield Revolution 2x7, they are some very well made scopes.

Do you have other Vortex scopes? I’ve only messed around with one before, and it was super crunchy when moving the zoom etc soive shied away from them, but given the number they make and the popularity of them, it must have been a bad one. I’m looking at the Strike Eagle in 1-6x or even 1-8x for the .30-30 and then I could move the 1-4x Nikon over to my BBSC .44 Mag.

Why yes I have a 1x4x24, believe it's crossfire also, it's on my BBS in 41 Mag.
The reason I decided to try the 2x7, I may try it on the 444P, I've been tossing around the idea for a while.
