[QUOTE="808caliber, post: 1972718, member: 115359"] Not sure if someone mentioned. But a huge factor as well is glass quality. I started with pst gen 1. We shoot goats that weigh between 50 to 80lbs on average. and iinitially would find myself cranking up power jus to see the detail i needed. So few years later, with the mindset that more poweris better, i own a zco 5 to 27. Now, with this glass i routinely test myself. I zoom in to where i see everything in detail and am amazed with how little zoom i need. Being at 6-9 power "feels" like 15ish on my lower quality pst. Now. The only thing i wish is to have more fov. So hopefully i can get hold of a 4-20 or even better a TT 3-15. Morale is, more power might be needed in a lower tier scope, but youll severely sacrifice fov and add added weight. So if you can, get the best glass with minimal power to get the task. Weve shot goats at 500 yards with 12 power easily between my zco and my bros khales. [/QUOTE]
