[QUOTE="ipopum, post: 635841, member: 45634"] It may depend on conditions at the time. In bright sun you need less X's than on cloudy overcast days. I have done a lot of shooting in prairie dog towns in the last 20 years. One of my 223's has an old made in Japan Bushnell 3x9 but it is very clear. I have killed p dogs out to 564 yards. My other p dog guns have 4x16, which are usually set on 10 to 12 power. These are not high priced scopes so image suffers at higher settings. The other factor to consider as power goes up the area you see at 3, 4 or 500 yards goes down. This is another reason my p dog scopes are set at 10 to 12 power. This is just my experience yours may vary. [/QUOTE]
