[QUOTE="Lefty G-gear, post: 1987833, member: 26902"] I live in Wyoming. I've shot 5 big game animals in my life: 3 deer 1 antelope 1 elk All within 250-yards. A 1-4x scope can handle that, but for the possible longer shots: I've had the 3x9, 2x7, 2x10, 3x12, 4x12, 4.5x14, and a fixed 4x and 6x. (Some with AOs or Side-Focus.) Plinking, practice and hunting. I'd advise a 2-10x50. or 3-12x42 with an adjustable objective, or side-focus, and keep it at low power - till you need more. - If 12x ain't powerful enough - GET CLOSER! :D Now, I'm working with this MK1-MOA reticle $299 at [URL]https://www.eurooptic.com/Nikon-M-TACTICAL-Riflescope-3-12X42SF-Matte-MK1-MOA-16519.aspx[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1601133715260.png"]216069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1601137189546.png"]216088[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/nikon-products//riflescopes/m-tactical-3-12x42sf-mk1-moa.html[/URL] R E V I E W S [URL]https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B07CMGSPTW[/URL] [/QUOTE]
