[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 293351, member: 10106"] For hunting medium and large game, 10X on a scope will do fine for as far as you can shoot your rifle effectively. If you're wanting to see detail or judge trophy quality, that's a different matter. But for hitting the vitals out to 800-1,000 yards, 10X will work (admittedly, I've only shot inanimate targets at this distance). When shooting, don't focus on the target. Focus on the reticle. It's O.K. if the target's even a little blurry (as long as you've adjusted for parallax). I'm not saying don't get more magnification. Being comfortable with and having confidence in your equipment is worth a lot. [/QUOTE]
