[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 1996708, member: 115658"] Scopes - 4.5-14X40 works well for most hunting, good enough for rodents at 400. More magnification and bigger objectives make for more weight and bulk. My favorite scopes for deers are 4.5-14X40 Leupolds either 1 inch or 30mm. All my scopes and rifles, almost all Leupolds 4.5-14's and 6.5-20's and .17HMR thru .300WM get some time shooting varmints to check things out - shooting under field conditions at various ranges. Binocs - 10X42's. I have plans to get 15X56 but will need a tripod for that. Spotter's 20-40X with 65mm objective and tripod. Go for high quality glass & coatings. The 3-18X44 looks like the best all around scope, 18 X is sure nice when needed. [/QUOTE]
