[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 350527, member: 12443"] how much power is a personal thing. thats the advantage of varieable scopes. more power is nice when target shooting. i feel it can be a drawback however when hunting. i rarly go beyond 10 to 12 power when hunting, even though my scopes can go higher. even on shots at the longer distances you mention. i like a larger field. if the animal runs, i have an easier time staying on it. when it stops im ready, and dont have to go looking for it. thats especially important where lots of trees are involved. sometimes they stop where you cant see them. if you lost him when he ran, that becomes a bigger problem. whereas if you were able to stay on, you know where he is and can wait or chase him out. first round kills are nice and should be strived for. being prepared for follow up shots is even more important in my mind. staying on the animal is of the utmost importance. whatever it takes to accomplish that should be used.
