[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 418799, member: 2736"] 20x is enough for all but the longest distances but the down side of the 8x to xxx power is the low end magnification is very high and if you get a close shot it will be diffacult to find the animal in a hurry. I have both scopes(6.5x20 and 8x25) and the eye position is more critical on the 8x25. I prefer to hunt with a 4.5x 14x 50 because it works at all distances, even the very long shots are manageable with no lose of accuracy. In some cases the lower power is actually better IMO because of shooter movement and mirage. All of the MK4s have the same quality of glass so all you get is more power. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
