[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 989485, member: 8873"] Sure you can have too much magnification, try hunting with a fixed 16x... I did but only once! Sitting on a powerline cut that you can shoot 2000 yards. Almost cost me a good buck. Lower light and exit pupil made it impossible to get on him @ 750. Last year I hunted with a fixed 6x on one of my rifles, missed an oportunity on at least one close range hog due to FOV. Wish I had a 4x or lower. I've shot to 1000+ yards for several years with a 10x Leupold with good success. I'm with KC on this one. If there is a possibility of closer shots especially in timber or low light, I would rather have a lower power. I think a good 4-16 power will cover most anything. [/QUOTE]
