I have to agree, most of the scopes I have are 3-9 x 40 and I find them pretty versatile, although I do have a 4-12 x 50 on my Prosport, only because it was a bargain and I can shoot the Prosport out a bit further than my other rifles, so the extra mag comes in handy but if I ever look out for a scope now, 3-9 x 40 is the size I automatically go for and there seems to be plenty about and a good price.
