[QUOTE="LR3, post: 1136918, member: 15336"] Ed I ve tried many scopes but the one I had mounted was as indicated a Schmidt and Bender 12-50. I rarely use it at 50X because the mirage interferes too much and I usually cannot see where the shots land. Most of the time 15X is best for checking close, mid range and far range mirage. I also have a Valdata that goes to 52X. I ve shot 6' groups with 7X at 1000 y and most of the time I shoot 15x - 20X at 1000yds and go to about 30 times at 1760 and about 40 at 2000+. Ideal would probably be a 40X but then the limitation is scope MOA range and the need to hold higher using the reticle. For the Valdata you can dial it back to get more range on the turret but then that s exactly when you want more power. On the Snipetac I use a 5-25 S& B and it s great. As noted above these were about 3 feet rocks - so a little more than 1 MOA. [/QUOTE]
