[QUOTE="shortmagshooter, post: 819497, member: 39358"] Hard question to answer everybody is different on what magnification they feel is ok to engage a target. You get to make that call thru your own experience. But I will share a few things my son started out with a '06 and 6X leupold FX2 since he was 12 Ive watched him kill forked horn deer at 50 yards in very low light and six point bulls at 300 hes almost 20 now and infantrymen in the army he still uses that trusty old '06 with the 6X and has never asked for anything else. His sister on the other hand just has to have more and uses a 300wsm with a 3-9. Funny thing is last year I watched her make a awsome shot at 275 yards and kill her first 5 point bull. One shot threw the trees into his neck after it was over I checked her scope it was on 6X. I know this isnt " long range" but I just thought I would share. [/QUOTE]
