[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 454310, member: 19118"] For placing a single bullet in the chest of a critter, 10X will cover what you are after. It is nice to have some extra at the range, on a prairie dog rig, or if you will be really stretching things out. We use 4.5-14X for everything and for us its the perfect balance of weight, size, and power for hunting out to 1000. Shooting groups at long range is a nice place to use extra power if the mirage isn't bad, but we ring the 1 mile gong with 14X and it works great. You will find folks that love really high power and folks that think anything over 10X is too high. No wrong answers as everything has its trade-offs and what fits your application may not fit anyone else. [/QUOTE]
