[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 2805857, member: 39651"] I've never heard of a rule of thumb, but my old 3x9s were usually at 6 for most hunting situations and if need be adjusted from there, but I dont recall doing that often. But then, my hunting usually mostly just involves taking my rifle for a nice quiet walk in the woods. I think mostly, it depends on your eyes and how well YOU see at whatever distance. Also, quality of the optic will have a huge impact. IMO, there's no real way for any of us to tell you what power to use but one quote that seems to fit is "Aim small, miss small". [/QUOTE]
