[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1559479, member: 68875"] I am an admitted optics snob. I would take a high quality 3-15×50 over a cheap 6-24×50 any day. For most big game hunting, 15x on the top end is plenty for the smaller medium game at any hunting distance. But a 3x minimum is about max for still hunting where shots can be 20-50 yards on sudden appearing game. A few of the best magnification options for a hunting scope (in my opinion): 3-15×50 3-18×50 3-20×50 3-24×52 [/QUOTE]
