[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2805900, member: 14204"] As with anything else, YMMV, Magnification level to X range is a matter of individual preference/need due to the differences in vision quality. For instance, my son shot a target (~10"x10" rock) at 966Y at 5X; I needed 12X, IIRC, to hit the same target. The scope was 5-20 magnification range. I have seen references for 1X for every 100Y; this puts me close to my scenario. If I use the 4X per 100Y, it is perfect for "me" for the 100Y but not at 1000Y (40X). Again, it is just me - the bottom line, adjust accordingly to suit your vision. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
