[QUOTE="RBrowning, post: 272339, member: 412"] You will find a lot of variables in the answers because there are a lot of different shooting conditions. When I got into varmint shooting I got an 8-32. I learned a lot at the range about the effect of my pulse while on 32X. I saw movement I had never seen before and I learned to time my shot to my pulse. But then it almost cost me a shot at a woodchuck at less than 50 yards when I had the scope dialed up to 32X and couldn't find him in the reduced field of view. His last mistake was giving me time to twist the power back down to 8X! When a friend and I went to KS for prarrie dogs we found that we were both keeping our scopes in the 15-20X range due to mirage, we could see better at lower magnification. Now I carry a 4-16 on my 257WBY and I don't worry about not having enough to any range I may feel like shooting, although a clay pigeon ay 720 yards could have used a little more. So the answer all lies in what you are shooting and at what range and under what condition. [/QUOTE]
