I'd like to get a scope for my Browning X-Bolt Hunter 308. I'm looking for something "all around" for hunting deer, black bear, elk, possibly pigs, depending on where I'm at. My work situation is going to put me on the road for the next few years (6 months here, 4 months there, 9 months wherever), and I like to pack light. I could be sent anywhere from North Dakota to Seattle to Utah/Arizona, etc. And I'd like to bring the rifle if I have a chance to hunt. My point is, I don't know the specific area I might be hunting, so I couldn't tell you range, terrain, even game, and even then, it would likely be a very different hunt next season. I'm truly after a "one size fits all" here.

So I've done some research, and I've narrowed my scope options down to two. Either a Leupold VX-2 2-7x33, or a Leupold fixed power FX-2 4x33, both with duplex reticle.

I am leaning toward the fixed power 4x because I like to keep things simple, and it's the generally accepted old school "all arounder." Although I'm not 100% convinced. I'd like to be swayed by some experienced people here.

All opinions, thoughts, recommendations are welcome.
