[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 1882206, member: 107750"] I agree more than enough. Personally, as I went north of 50yrs of age, my optics requirements have changed. Case in point, I took a cull buck this year at about 100yds. He was a 3-4yr old slick six. In my younger days, I would not have needed optics to tell you he was a slick (not so true now) and with 3x magnification I could have probably told you he was a slick because his brow tines were broken off. I could not do that with a 12x scope now. He still tastes just as good, especially during Covid lockdown, though. That sort of recent experience really hits home the point that who-needs-what-in-optics is a hugely personal and contextual question. In my younger days, I probably would say "I don't know why anyone would need ..." a lot more than I do today as well. [/QUOTE]
