[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1319628, member: 17844"] People eyes are all different and the type of shooting different so I don't think there is any hard rules . When you are young you can use less magnification as you get older you seem to need more magnification to do the same job . My basic needs are , Walk around shooting hogs or deer and running shots 2 to 7 x is fine . Walk around shooting semi open plains country for smaller targets , fox , wild dog or rabbit mostly supported shots 4 to 12 or 16 is better . Varmint shooting prone on bi-pod I use 6 to 24 which is the most powerful scopes I have . The modern trend is towards more powerful scopes than you generally need because that's what long range shooters use . I can do a lot with a 2 to 7 power scope but once the range is over 400 or the target small I need more power / resolution . A scope with high image quality can use less power and still be very good.
