[QUOTE="el matador, post: 854214, member: 12193"] I'm still kind of a noob at the 600+ yard game, but I've done a good deal of shooting with muzzleloaders out to 400. Here in Utah we are limited to a 1x scope so I have a really good idea of what limitations you encounter as a result of reticle subtensions. A 10x scope at 1000 yards gives the same type of sight picture as a 1x scope at 100 yards, which is very good on something like a deer. I think if you're shooting clay pigeons at 1000 or gophers and such you'll want higher magnification. I'm shooting rocks and steel gongs at long range and possibly a deer or elk, so I would be better served by something in the 4-16x range. Currently using a 4.5-14 and have been very happy with it. At 100 yards with my 14x I can detect reticle movement very easily. I may not know if that's 1/32" or 3/32", but I know if it's moving. [/QUOTE]
