[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 76319, member: 313"] I have a 12x42x56 on my primary varmint rifle. I've been shooting all summer on a farm that provided shots out to 650yds. I have yet to turn the power ring above 12x. Absolutely no problems seeing and shooting small vermin at that range with 12x. Higher magnification complicates things with mirage and, more so, limited field of view. Like many other shooters, I got caught up in the high magnification thing. My suggestion would be to avoid the 16x fixed power scope and avoid the downside of that set-up. The 10x will have more than enough magnification for the range you mentioned and will be user friendly too. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
