[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2863421, member: 116181"] What magnification are you trying to use? I'll take 1000 yard shots on 16x or less, and 4-16x scopes are very common. I normally mount a 2-7x scope for anything inside 500 yards. Thermal is base 2x and use that out to several hundred yards. Anything over 20-25x mirage comes into play in sunlight even when it's cold outside, my 35x and 80x scopes are limited to benchrest/ precision shooting, or prairie dogs. More magnification does not equal more precision. I've had deer rub up against a blind I'm sitting in.... doesn't mean I shoot them 😂 [/QUOTE]
