[QUOTE="trebark, post: 873830, member: 19172"] When it comes to optics, I tend to lean towards the higher magnification for a longrange rig. I started with a 6.5-20x50 and after shooting it for a while changed to 8.5-25x50. I found that the extra magnification at the top end was helpful while the slight increase at the lower end has very little downside.
