[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1437627, member: 8873"] Rich, Several years back I had a nice buck step out in a clearing (power line) @ 750 yards. It was daylight enough to see him moving around naked eye amongst a few does, and clear enough in my 8x42 binos to know he was a shooter. However the fixed 16x42 scope I had on the rifle was so dark in the view that I couldn’t distinguish which deer he was. Watched him bulldog the doe into the wood line. Luckily he stepped back out a little later when the sun was popping up over the trees, could see him clearly then. He now hangs on my wall. Lesson learned, sometimes magnification isn’t your friend. Even when target shooting or f-class, mirage gets nasty sometimes. [/QUOTE]
