[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 1431467, member: 1390"] It’s not so much the magnification that allows one to precisely place a bullet at distance, but more so a good reticle and reliable internal mechanics. Hits on deer sized vitals way out there are very doable with even a good 6x scope, the 6x SWFA SS. Have easily made hits on 12” steel at 800 yards with that very scope many times myself. For what you are describing, I recommend the SWFA SS 3-9 or the Bushnell LRHSi or LRTSi. GA Precision is taking deposits on their next 4.5-18 LRHSi special, scheduled for July. They are $750 and there has never been a better bargain in a scope. I have had the 3-9 SS, 3-12 LRHS and currently have the 4.5-18 LRTSi. They all do what a scope should do but many others do not. That is track correctly, maintain zero, and return to zero reliably. Any of those three would simply amaze you with what you will be capable of when you learn how to use it correctly. John [/QUOTE]
