[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 946860, member: 35183"] If you expect you are always going to shoot on 4x then yes, you bought the wrong scope. I specifically got my 4-16x50 PST FFP for coyote hunting and I usually set the magnification to match my binoculars field of view since that is usually how I spot them. So generally 6x at lowest and I have never taken a shot at 6x usually 12x or 16x. If you are worried about close range snap shooting, add a 1x red dot to the scope then you have 2 different options. For a coyote to fill the FOV at 4x, you should have no problem hitting it just using the bold outer bars of the reticle anyhow. Have you tried this on some representative paper or steel targets ? A fixed 10x scope is much worse in this regard. [/QUOTE]
