[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 132648, member: 3745"] AJ, Others have mentioned the 5.5-22X. I would like to second the suggestion. I have two of them one a 56mm and the other a 50mm, both have the MLR reticle which I like. With a 20+ pound rifle you are not going to be looking for those up close and personal snap shots. I don't think the 5.5X on the low end will handicap you at all over the 3.5X, but the 22X over the 15X could be definate plus in many long range situations. I have taken over a dozen critters with my NF scopes at ranges from 80 to 700 yards. I can only think of two shots that were not made with the scope at full magnification. I agree you can get too much magnification in some situations, and that mirage or decreased light transmission can be factor at high power. However, in my experience 22X has not presented those problems to me very often. [/QUOTE]
