Better brightness, better field of view.<br /><br />From what I gather "the marketplace" doesn't seem to want fixed low-power scopes w/normal eye relief so they tend to get discontinued.

They are really good optics for reasonable prices, but not enough people know that. I've got the 2.75x scout scope on a Japanese Arisaka 7.7 mm rifle that my grandfather brought back from WW2. I have it mounted with an S&K scope mount that replaces the original sights without drilling or tapping.

I think you have made a very good choice. <br /><br />How about back up iron sights?
