[QUOTE="TXTrained, post: 1988659, member: 108811"] For myself I like my 6.5 Creedmoor with my Delta Stryker 4.5-30x56 FFP 34mm main tube for Long Range Flat Land Hunting.However for Mountains I like my Browning 7mm Magnum with my Leupold 6.5-20×44 because of the less amount of weight.Both are adequate scopes buttons is just alot heavier than the other.I think a good rule of thumb or for me is 1.5 times per 100 meters or yards is good.I day 1.5 because at 400 meters/yards a 4 power is not enough for my 64 year old eyes.I shoot nearly every day from 200 yards to 1200 yards.Im no expert.Just retired and love to shoot and challenge myself.Six years I had never heard of a 1st Focal Plane Scope.Ice hunted all over North America and Mexico and Canada and killed everything I've hunted.Mostly with a Remington 700 BDL in 270 Win and a 6x Weaver Or a Browning 7mm Mag.and Leupold 3-9×42 until 10 years ago and up graded my scopes. I hope this helps.Sorry it was so long.You can always dial the power down if you have it.But you can never dial up more if it's not there to get.Id get atleast a 4.5-21×50 . Good Luck.. [/QUOTE]
