[QUOTE="Maveroid, post: 1880813, member: 112532"] I have a couple other scopes with higher magnification I use for shooting targets. (Minox zp5 5-25 and Meopta Optika 6 5-30) I went with the 1.8-12 thinking the 1.8 would be nice while walking through timber and the 12 would be plenty on a larger target such as a elk. The lowlight capability of the Leica was another factor. Honestly I’m not worried about judging antlers through the scope. In Iowa anyway, when you see a shooter, you know it. I havnt hunted elk yet and would imagine it’s similar. The buddy I plan to elk hunt with isn’t a trophy hunter, more of a meat hunter. Does this picture depict a real life situation? I brought it up on StrelokPro and if this is what I’d actually be seeing, I think it’s more than enough for the range I’m looking at. [ATTACH]188431[/ATTACH] Thanks! [/QUOTE]
