[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 931441, member: 30902"] Yes but how good is "shooting good"? Are you consistently getting one inch or smaller groups at 100yds? As for glass there's a lot of good options out there that run from anywhere from around 450.00 for a used Leupold 3.5-10x50 to as much as over 3k for USO and some others. My suggesting depending on the budget is look at Leupold VXIII and Vortex Viper PST scopes with 50mm or larger objectives with a top end power range of at least 14x. You can get buy with less with higher quality glass and as a rule I always say get the best glass you can afford and if you have to choose between more magnification or a larger objective, then get the larger objective because in those critical low light opportunities good glass and a larger objective will extend your shooting times dramatically. You can get to a thousand yards on deer or larger sized game with a 10x magnification but moving it up to a minimum of 14x will help. Be careful not to go nuts buying something with a bottom end Magnification of greater than 6x if there's even a possibility of needing to shoot at under 200yds because that's just getting to where there's so much magnification it's hard to really pick out the right point of impact especially on a quick shot.
