Anyone wish they would have bought the NX8 4-32x50 over the 2.5-20?

[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2136269, member: 17889"] I have usually preferred the highest magnification available. Can always turn down; won't notice much difference on low end between 2.5x and 4x Exception is for specific heavy timber, known short range rigs., then low power and open sights. High magnification is useful for glassing distant areas/target confirmation via a Phonescope smartphone/tablet style setup on the scope. Phone zoom even adds magnification range. Eliminates need to pack heavy spotting scopes and their associated tripod.......... rifle on first tripod for long range readiness taking shots.......and can scan without needing eyes right on scope or bino occular lenses reducing scanning fatigue.,,,,,and allows peripheral vision for alertness, better close situational awareness for close opportunities........and hopefully safety in nasty toothed territory. Just a really, really old guy's way who usually does things different from everyone else..........but that's where I made my money. YMMV :) :) [/QUOTE]
