[QUOTE="25 Otter, post: 425876, member: 26801"] Funny how things evolve. When I was younger,a 3-9X was a big scope. Most of my whitetail rifles wore 4X or 6X fixed power scopes. I didn't feel the least bit compromised. Then I graduated to 10X and 12X glass on my woodchuck rifles and thought I was "Big Time". And so it went. I progressed and became a magnification junkie. Or so I thought. A friend of mine let me shoot a relay with his 6PPC complete with a 36X Weaver. That was it. From that point on the more the better! I took the wheel of my own PPC,and it wore a 36X Sightron. After a season of 100 and 200 yd score shooting, my deer rig with the 4X-12X Leupold on it was very hard to get used to. Now the 4X-12X is my minimum standard required glass. Any of my rifles that are primarily open country rigs wear no less than 6X-18X scopes. I'm hooked. I can still appreciate the old days and my little fixed power Weavers and Leupolds. I am thinking of putting together a deer rifle on a .308 that will wear a 6X Leupold. Just for old time sake.
