[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1086456, member: 34084"] Where I hunt yotes the typical range is under 100 yds. I consider hogs to be dangerous game. So I would strongly favor the 3-12X model for the wider field of view. I think it's the more versatile model, given the intent to hunt yotes and hogs. Otherwise, I would go with the 4.5-18X model because the magnification is high enough that I can use the rifle scope to count antler points, allowing me to leave the spotting scope in camp when hunting in steep terrain, and spot game with just my 8X40 binos. You will eventually need a second scope after you get your 6.5 Grendel. The 3-12X would be ideal to mount on that rifle for hunting smaller game or hogs at shorter range. You could buy the 4.5-18X model then and set up the 6.5 Creedmor for longer range. [/QUOTE]
