[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1880782, member: 8873"] Yes it is, plenty of power for those ranges. Two of my favorite hunting scopes are a 2-10 and a 3.5-10. I shoot them regularly to 800 yards. Some rebuttals I can see being posted are “I have bad vision and need more magnification” or “You need more magnification to judge the animal (antlers and such)”. Someone might bring up the more magnification you have the finer aim point you can have (the whole aim small-miss small thing). But I will argue that high magnification has trade offs to it, like FOV and ability to spot my own hits as part of follow through. Someone might throw in the ole “better to have it and not need it” and to that I’d say whatever floats your boat. Did I miss anything? These were just my initial thoughts. :D [/QUOTE]
