[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1563294, member: 68875"] Military snipers usually range from 400 to 1000+ yards, in ambush, waiting for an enemy. Rarely using their service rifle for close shots on moving targets. FOV is not usually an issue, as they have spotters calling their shots. Unless you are shooting 500-1000 yard prairie dogs over a town, there is absolutely no need for a 10-50×56 scope on a rifle for hunting. Even of you are shooting a .338 LM Imp @ 1500+ on an elk or deer, you don't need that. [/QUOTE]
