[QUOTE="Caveman0101, post: 1500472, member: 10852"] If it is for hunting go with the best glass highest magnification you can afford. 2 weeks ago we got my hunting buddy's dad his first bull. It was a 400-yard shot through thick trees with about a 16" inch window to slip the bullet into. With my 25x Ziess we could determine the exact window we needed the bull to get into, free of twigs and small branches to make the shot. This would not have been possible with a low power scope and would only get worse with more distance and fading light. After about an hour of watching the bull wonder around, lay down, got up, he finally got in the hole and a 142gr ABLR from my son's 260 Rem dropped him with a neck shot. This shot and out to about 700 yards is very common in the area we hunt since the beetles killed all the trees. You can spot the elk moving through them but getting a window to shoot through takes patients and good glass. [/QUOTE]
