[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 830884, member: 34084"] Depends on the game you're hunting. 4-16x is more than enough for big game out to 500 yds. 6-24x might be useful for ground squirrels and prairie dogs. Between the two Vortex scopes, the 4-16x50 probably has the better optical design. Set to the same magnification all 50 mm scopes will have similar brightness. That's because manufacturer's lens coatings have evolved to the point that most scopes above $200 have nearly the same transmission (within about a 5% spread). In low light, both scopes will start to loose brightness above about 7-8x magnification, depending on the shooter's age. [/QUOTE]
