[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 376043, member: 505"] You have as good as it gets on your action. You are going to have fun with it and be very impressed with what it will do. You will be able to kill stuff probably further than you can hit it. Hunting long range with a 10 power scope is very difficult and takes a lot of practice but can be done. Most do not have a paralax adjustment and you have got to be good to shoot long range without adjusting paralax. But you can make hits on large big game at 1000 yards if your eyes are good enough and you learn to shoot without the paralax adjustment. Your form must be perfect every shot or the reticle will move all over the target. It is give and take. With the high power you may miss some close opportunities with the narrow field of veiw of a high power scope that you would make with wide fov. High power is for wide open spaces and will cost you if you hunt in timber very much. I live and hunt regularly in grizzly country so I must have a wide fov for getting on a bear quick if I surprise one. The Nikon Monarch 3-12 has a generous fov and a paralax adjustment for long range. Also the 4-16 Monarch has about the same fov as a 3-10 leupold. Both are fairly lightweight also. Bottom line is if you shoot in wide open spaces with plenty of light the high power scopes allow you to shoot better period. But if you hunt in the woods in low light conditions at dawn or dusk the fov and light gathering ability of the 10-12 power sopes may get you more kills. Again, give and take. [/QUOTE]
