[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 573020, member: 27328"] Around here, running the mag beyond approximately 20X isn't going to do you any good when heat mirage is clearly evident. You're just making the distortion bigger with no gain in detail. You could run a higher mag in the winter or on an overcast day and get some gains. So the power of a scope is a changing issue for max resolution. Get the highest power under the best conditions, then back off the mag as conditions deteriorate, would be one way of doing it, since most people use variable power scopes. I am more concerned about the low power of my scope, and that is never over 4X on anything that will ever be used for general hunting. That typically sets the max power of my scope at around 16X..
