[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 679105, member: 14340"] That is a personal preference that is different for allot of people. I use 24x for 99% of my shots and the remaining 1% is purely theoretical as it has never really happened other than at the range to verify scopes point of aim is the same. For close quick shots I could shoot both eyes open on six or even ten power just fine. Train with you specific equipment and you can use all sorts of gear in ways someone who does not train thinks is impossible. At 1000 yards I love every ounce of magnification, I have a 4x fixed that I can shoot to 1200 and stay in the vitals but the results are not the same as my 24x and the point of aim is not as specific because I simply cant see my target as well with the lower powers............ The same is true at 100 yards. I can make a good group with a good set up and low power scope but the same set up and a high power scope will net smaller groups. The bench rest crowd figured this out decades ago. If long range is your priority, then quality crisp magnification is your friend. In either case, which ever way you go... Good luck and as always.... Post your results and opinions so we can all learn from them. [/QUOTE]
