Thanks! I like the simplicity of a single-shot falling-block. I also shoot ambidextrously so its nice to be able to switch shoulders when sitting in a stand depending on whether I'm turning left or turning right. The Schmidt & Bender 1.5-8x42 Stratos is a great scope with a perfect zoom range for the type of hunting I do. It's a shame they stopped making it recently. The discontinued Minox ZA-5 1.5-8x32 I have on my No. 1S in 9.3x74r is also an excellent scope for these types of rifles.
