[QUOTE="BRENT ERWIN, post: 1568928, member: 106689"] Do you have to have a high power scope to hunt - NO! With that being said, what are you hunting, where are you hunting (thick forest, the open flats of southern WYO), what rifle do you have. If you look over time the bigger the better is true with scopes. For years it was the strait 4X, then the 3-9's and so on. I say you have to get the best scope for your hunting needs. I like the 3.5-15 and the 4-16. Is this much scope a must have - NO. but as I get older it is nice to get a little bit better view, my eyes not being what they used to be. If I take a 700 yd shot I have enough scope, but not so much that all I see all fur at 100 yds. With the hunting that I do any more scope would not make sense. Is it necessary, not really but it is nice to have. Make your choice on what makes sense to you, not what make sense to Brad... [/QUOTE]
