[QUOTE="anubismp, post: 1101362, member: 90820"] I've been shooting for quite some time but mostly tactial stuff with some plinking and target mixed in. I grew up in upstate NY where hunting was bow or shotgun only so while I'm very familiar with tactical scopes I'm searching for advice for a hunting scope. I'd like a scope for hunting and target practice. Out in WA I've found while we have a few long range spots most of the actual hunting enounters seem to be very close. I'm starting to think then that a scope with a low mag would be good for FOV and more realistic for the ranges I'm likely to see. With that being said I'd also like something with a bit more top end for long distance practice and if I find a longer shot or go to the east side of the state where distance opens up or travel. I already have an IOR 2.5-10x42 which I've had on my 6.5 grendel for a long while. I've thought of using this but I wonder if its a bit much for what I'm doing. My hunting rifle is a Steyr Pro Hunter in 30-06. I'm mostly going for deer and elk though bear isnt out off the question. I'm between looking into a 1-4 or a 2.5-10 or just keeping the scope I already have and getting another optic for the grendel. Your thoughts are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
