[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 634654, member: 9281"] I have done a lot of long range work with a 10X Shepherd. I have used it to make hits on milk jugs at 1,630 yards. I was able to take a bull elk at just over 1,000 yards with it this year as well. Now, I want and definately feel it would be beneficial to have around 20X for those kinds of distances. It's being able to put the crosshair right on that "spot." But amazing things can be done with low magnification but it just requires a high level of concentration. I would think at 500yds 10X to 14X would work great. [/QUOTE]
