[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 989734, member: 63748"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]You have your answer if low end power is the discriminator. Personally I prefer the best glass with the highest variable power in the 30 to mid 40x range. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]The higher power scopes will be limited in elevation adjustments. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]A compromise between high end power and maximum elevation adjustment is warranted when maximum elevation adjustments is desired. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]A quality 20X scope on the high end is a suitable compromise. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]While 30-40x may not be ideal for a hunting shot, the higher magnification is a significant benefit with determining precision potential before the shot. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Once precision potential is estimated, time permitting, power can be reduced to a manageable shooting power. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Precision potential both determined at the range and in the field is a critical component with determining a maximum effective range. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Scopes with higher variable power in the 20X plus range are more conducive, in my experience, with this endeavor. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Power can always be backed down if you have it, not so the other way around.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
