[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1437932, member: 8873"] Rich, Thanks for clarifying what you meant, at first I didn’t get it. I can see merit in this. Once you have acquired the target, adjust magnification till you have a better picture. I can see this going both ways, up and down. I do this anyways, unless I expect a quick shot. I will adjust my magnification to a point where I expect an animal to be, to have a good field of view and still be able to have a definitive aim point. Example: last year in Colorado I sat in a spot one morning with my .375 Snipetac w/5.5-22 NXS mounted with the mag turned to half power (that way I can still utilize the reticle for quick wind holds). The closest shot offered across the valley was about 650 yards (have to check my notes). Also already had the dope for that shot adjusted on the elevation turret. [/QUOTE]
