[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 1988070, member: 115658"] Aim small, miss small. A 12X fixed will do nicely for most hunting use. I have a 12X40 FX3 Leupold but they don't make them now, simple, tough and light. I have shot down silhouette chickens at 1,000 with a 10X. A good all around, do most of everything is a 4.5-14. For small varmints and long range hunting, 6-18, 6.5-20 or more.. High magnification scopes can be big, heavy and bulky. I have never felt under-scoped with a 4.5-14X unless spotting bullet holes on paper beyond 200. [/QUOTE]
