[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2806473, member: 124418"] My favorite hunting scopes are 1-8 (AR-15 223 and 6.5G, bolt 308 truck gun), 4-16 (bolt guns in 223, 22-250, 6 Creedmore, 270) and 6-24 power (6.5-284 antelope and 7SS, 28N, 7mm rem mag deer and up), with 4-16 being the most favored. As stated, no real rule of thumb. IMO, 16x is plenty of scope out to 500 yds for shooting to kill. If you are trying to score a deer for size at that range, then 24x might not be enough. [/QUOTE]
