[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1124269, member: 2736"] I like to hunt with 3.5 x 14 x 50 with a 30 mm tube. this gives me plenty of power for the long shots and lots of MOA adjustments because of the 30mm tube, and on 3.5 or 4 power running targets are not a problem. The higher power scopes normally have 5.5 to 8 power on the low end and are great for the longest shots but are almost worthless and really hard to acquire a target on close or running shots. The only scopes that will focus at 10 yards are normally below 2.5 power and have very little top end power. (4 to 7 normally). The best compromise would be a 6 x 18 or similar , but it would probably need 25+ yards to focus on the lowest power. Hope this helps. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
