[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 454296, member: 21068"] As I mentioned above, I prefer a little more but I've bought a 2.5-10 NF compact to put on a custom AR-15 after load development is finished. For the same reason you mention, I don't want a huge heavy scope sitting on top of an already "high center of gravity" rifle. As others have mentioned here, the lower powers are nice for wider field of view and especially for moving shots. I can let you know how far I am able to see and connect on prarie dogs with the 10X when I get it mounted up, but it may be a while...? The nice thing about higher powers is the ability to "aim small, miss small" I like how the higher powers (14-16) magnify enough to really pick a point of aim on the target.....more able to call where you were when the shot broke. I also like that they show how steady or unsteady your postition actually is..........something that is masked by using lower power glass. Another thing I like is that most higher powered scopes include parallax adjustment, which I feel is important for small targets at long range. [/QUOTE]
