[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1129592, member: 10291"] I agree that with hitting game out to 1000 yards the size of deer, bear, and elk can be achieved with lower magnifications(10-15x). Your choice of power range, particularly on the low end depends on the type of habitat that you most frequently will hunt. I think that choosing the optic should be based upon the most demanding shot you are likely to encounter. I ended up going with a 5x20 for my versatile scope which can be shots from 50-1000 yards. The high end magnification isn't required to hit game at long range, but can be very helpful during the seconds that precede, and during the shot. The added magnification can help discern any differences in wind activity at target, interfering brush, other animals in the background, or just making sure you are on the right animal. I have also been able to see on several occasions, the very subtle movement/reaction of the game on bullet impact, thus confirming a hit. Just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
