[QUOTE="Maol, post: 1988350, member: 98340"] In the woods, a 4X with a tilt off mount and irons (1). Out to 400 a 6X (2). To 1000 a 10X, which I don't have. So a few different variables take that duty on a few different rifles. Regarding a good quality serious variable, I went heavy first -Sightron SIII SS 10-50x60mm illuminated. My reasoning is this, as others have said, you can dial it down and the extra weight is less than large binocs or spotting scope. I may have missed it being mentioned, but I also use the highest power for reading mirage to estimate the wind at different distances on the path to POI. BTW the large objective doesn't hurt at dawn and dusk either. But yes, as others have also said, it usually stays on 10 or 12x. It really is a telescope so I also have 2 6x24x50mm one on a 308 and another for a new mountain/canyon rifle build for sheep. [/QUOTE]
