[QUOTE="Wanashoot, post: 2174823, member: 98612"] Been reading posts for a few years but have never logged in before. I mainly read and have learned a lot just by some of the posts. I have been reloading and shooting since the 90s and I am pretty much self taught. As you can guess I am an older shooter and I have found that I need more magnification to properly see and shoot. I have 5-25s on all but one gun and it has a 4-16 which is about the least I can use. I do not shoot on max but usually between 12 to 15 if it is over 200 yrds. I also prefer 50 mm or larger just because the older your eyes the more light you need to see and it adds to your prime time hunting early and late in the evening. I would not worry with a few ounces if it gave me an extra 15 minutes of legal hunting time. Before I got the larger scopes I would have to stop hunting before legal hunting time because I could not accurately judge the game. [/QUOTE]
