[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1558842, member: 79865"] My top end at this point is 16x, which I feel is plenty for hunting out as far as I would shoot at this point, certainly at game. So far the most zoom I have used to shoot big game is about 6x, and most often 4x. Don't get me wrong, I do see a point to the higher magnifications. Being able to dial up to 25x when shooting my brother's rifle at 1300 yards or so is really useful, and if I ever build something that can shoot as far as he does I will probably be getting something with that kind of range on it, but for now I don't see a reason for me to do it. With a good rifle and a good scope, I feel 16x should at least get me to 1000. [/QUOTE]
