[QUOTE="winmag, post: 672363, member: 22166"] 4.5-14. You live in Auburn Wa. So let's say for one reason or another you can't make it to the good side to hunt, & you have to go near where you live..... Clearcuts are about the only place where you can even come close to taking advantage of 4.5-14 let alone a 6-20 power. Warehauser, or Plumcreek, is your only shot. I live, & hunt in central, & eastern Oregon, & also hunt Idaho. I'm in everything from timber to sagebrush on a daily basis, & I personally wouldn't put a scope on a hunting rifle that started any higher than 4.5. The 6 power & up, is just way too much for brush or dark timber imo. Now if it was strictly a dedicated LR ONLY rifle, or comp rifle then ya use the bigger one. But for coyotes & deer out to only 5-600 4.5-14 all the way. I own two VX-III, 4.5-14x40 A/O's (1 Tactical pre mark 4, & one regular), & one VX-III, 3.5-10. The 14's both have varmint hunter duplex, & the tac has turrets as well, & the 10 has the B&C. I also have a Burris 4.5-14x42 A/O, B-Plex. I have yet to use a 6-20 power on anything for hunting. There nice for really stretching it out there, but not nesicary or practical for even my LR rifles for my style of hunting. May e your style is different. I dunno. I lived in Enumclaw, for a while, & hated it, cause there's just no room to do anything, let alone shoot LR. The ravensdale gunclub is a joke, & you can't shoot at mud mountain dam anymore. Wheeler sold thier gravel pit out by Black Diamond, Greenwater is too thick with brush etc. Pierce county isn't any better. Where do you go to practice? [/QUOTE]
