[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 671737, member: 23486"] I have and use both. I have at times found myself wanting more power, but I can't ever recalling a time when I wished I had less. I feel just fine giving up a whopping [U]1.5x[/U] on the bottom end to pick up 6x on the top. If you're worried about running out of elevation at 1k, you're going to need a picatinny rail anyway. Add 20 minutes to the rail & forget about it. I've taken the Leupy 6.5-20's & the 8.5-25's from 750 to 1100yrds w/o any difficulty whatsoever. Your estimates of the MOA required to reach 1k are spot on. I recommend the larger optic here. [/QUOTE]
