[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1560763, member: 103317"] IMO having the high power is nice when you have the time to use it. I generally shoot between 12-14 power at most distances up to 600 yards on animals just because it is to hard to keep the reticle still when I am at 22 power shooting off the sticks. If I have a chance to lay down and get into the prone position then I shoot at 22 power on the longer stuff. I have (2) Nightforce scopes in the 5.5-22x50 that I just love but both on are on long range rifles. I have a 3-18 Leupold VX6HD on the rifle I carry when I am in the timber. [/QUOTE]
