I'm using a Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm on my Mini-30, using it for deer hunting in woods/hills (50-100 yard shots at most).
I've only had it one season but it has netted me a deer so far and has been enjoyable to use.
Pros: clear, good low-light, not overpowered (2x is good for close shots, 7x is about the reach of the mini-30)
Cons: Have to really double down on the lock-tight, mount came loose causing me to completely miss my second deer.
If I could Trade: Not really, at least none come to mind. I have a 3x-9x on my .270 and I think it's under-powered for that gun, but for my mini-30 the 2x-7x is comfortable.
I used the Wheeler scope mounting kit for mine, overkill if you are just doing one (local gunshop would be happy to do it) but useful for me as I have several guns and I have a bunch of family and friends who have used it, after your second scope mounting it really pays for itself.
