[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1237541, member: 1521"] And if I were duck hunting, a bead on the end of a shotgun barrel would do it. Well, unless I'm a LR duck hunter. My perspectives stem from varmint hunting (GHs). And with this, accuracy is significant to my power. A head shot on a groundhog at 500yds (often presented in higher grass) takes 1/4moa of cold bore accuracy, from both my gun and my shooting of it. Low power, low resolution scopes, with gadget reticles, flat out won't get it. I typically use at least 25x, with a fine or med-fine std crosshair. For me a GH in one of my scopes looks like a brown bear, which I'm about to drop with a brain shot. I did so with a PA whitetail once, 590yds, 50gr BR bullet, and it never processed a notion of it's end. Not a twitch. Now common vitals on bigger game are bigger, but it's all relative. At enough distance they get small too. I can't help but assume this is significant to some here at LRH. [/QUOTE]
