I like variables. Reason being is that I can use the higher power for working up loads or sighting at the bench. Higher power makes a lot of difference off the bench.

But, when hunting, I always have the scope dialed to lowest power so I can get a quick(er) sight picture. Better than iron sights for me.

My fave is a discontinued B&L 2X8 compact - just love it. Next is the Leupold 2X7 compact.

I like the variety of having different magnification options, but usually only practically put the lowers to use.
