[QUOTE="82ndreddevil, post: 635343, member: 36912"] For an Army or Marine Sniper a fixed 10x Leupold M3A was sufficient for 1000 meters. If you ask a police sniper he will tell you that you need 14.5x to shoot 100 meters. Haha, im not joking. The only time I have used anything with that much magnification is for shooting prarie dogs. The only issue is that the scope I was using had 6x as its lowest setting, may not be ideal for some close range scenarios. [/QUOTE]
