[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1987420, member: 313"] A different point of view: All of my hunting rifles are shot extensively at the range, especially my LR rigs. I love to shoot and spend a considerable amount of time fine tuning loads and experimenting with new bullets as they come out. Probably 99% of my shots are at paper before I take the 1% shot at game. I like a variable with 20-25x at the upper end so that I can see and hold well on distant aiming points/ targets while developing loads. Without high magnification sometimes you just can't be sure about your hold. If the group isn't good you wonder if it was a bad load or a bad hold. Once an accuracy load has been established and I'm afield, I use the lowest magnification and rarely find a need for more than 10x for actual shooting at game. So a high magnification variable gets things accomplished on both ends. [/QUOTE]
