[QUOTE="tenth1, post: 992313, member: 69985"] Believe me, you can have too much power! If the gun you are taking for walk happens to chance finding a bear in an alder patch or thicket, you will want the lowest power possible. Also, this is hunting not target practice. Over decades, I have shot elk out to 600yd with a straight 4x old televid redfield in Montana. Zero loss. Now being in AK, 3x is the highest "low" magnification that I will take. In any condition from glaciers to alder patches Fancy ballistic tools and scope reticles are absolutely unnecessary with hunting shots under 600yds as long as you know the gun you are shooting.
