By few rifles I mean even just the one.
Let me explain my question. Arguably, different rifle configurations and different chamberings are good at different things, but there are some calibres that are quite good Jacks of All Trades, so a medium length .308 bolt action like the Ruger Scout or an AR in .223 can be good in heavy woodland, or even then reach out to 5-600m if the load is up to the job.
So I was wondering if any rifle owners have several scopes that they might use for the same gun depending on the application. Perhaps a 24mm objective for woodland shooting, and a large mag 56mm for longer range target shooting or this habit of shooting prairie dogs (do you eat them?).
Does this ever happen?
