[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1558566, member: 36564"] I love big scopes. However, the problem is unless the conditions are just perfect you cant effectively use that magnification anyhow. Here in NM typically, in most instances actually the mirage is terrible. When you crank your scope back to where you can actually see clearly through that mirage typically you are going to around the 10-14x. There are somedays for sure, when you can utilize that power but I shoot a lot, a lot, and more often than not I can't keep my scopes on max. As mentioned before I think the 4-16 range is the perfect area, maybe 18. I think you did very well on your scope decision. [/QUOTE]
