[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 722824, member: 34084"] If you want to target shoot out to 1,000 yds, you may find 10X too little magnification. For target and big game shooting, my rule of thumb for magnification is divide your max range by 40-70. That puts you at a maximum magnification of 14X-25X. If you have good visual acuity, go 14X. Otherwise, go 20-25X. If you were primarily big game hunting, I would divide max range by 40-50. That would cap the magnification at 20X. The reason is that glare increases with increasing magnification. Glare reduces contrast and contrast is important for big game hunting. [/QUOTE]
