Is 16X REALLY the max usable magnification?

[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 62039, member: 1522"] Dixie Freedom, I've gone agaist the tide as of late. I recently went back to a fixed 10X scope on my new AR and I'm not looking to go up in power. While shooting at TAC-PRO last summer I had to keep my tactical scope turned down to 10X and below. When it was 105 degrees outside, I couldn't see to shoot past 400 yards at the higher powers. Shooting at 1000 yards was near impossible above 10X. Some may argue, but the other folks where having fits using there high power scopes past 400 yards. Since then, I've been keeping my power ring turned down and loving life. It takes some getting use to, but my longer range groups are just as good as they were at the higher powers. Hope it helps.
