[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1560607, member: 78438"] I like the HP analogy, you don't always need 500HP, but it's nice to have it on tap when you want it. If you ever get in a 500HP truck that istn't full of cheap parts that dont' hold up, but a real 500HP machine, you'll never be happy with 4 banger Toyota again!!! That said, a 4 banger toyota will get to most places a 500HP work horse will get, it's just not as much fun!!! For most hunting situations, I don't go past 20X. It's nice to have some glass on your rifle that eliminates the need for a spotting scope when your packing a few miles, something that gives you a little more confidence that your pulling the trigger on something you want to kill. Multiple uses for the tools on hand, a good 20x-25X scope can double as a spotter coupled with some good bino's that you just want a little more verification on what your shooting at. Are they necessary? Not for most. Most don't do what we do here. [/QUOTE]
