[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 961324, member: 22069"] This is a very sensible answer. I would add that actual shooting conditions in the field, such as mirage, often render the higher magnifications useless. The typical "bigger is better" solution tends to fall flat under such circumstances. My personal preference is toward top magnifications in the 14x-18x range. In practical terms, I agree that the higher magnifications are useful primarily for load development. I wouldn't otherwise feel handicapped by a scope that tops out at 9x or 10x for big game out to 600 yards or so. [/QUOTE]
