[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1989313, member: 29241"] I will start by saying I know I am not the norm and not saying the rest of you are wrong. But for me, but for me, I use a 12-42 scope with a fine crosshair and a dot. I have other scopes, but when I am shooting at anything past 400 yards, I don't want to "guess" and will not shoot without a rest. If the target is moving I will not consider attempting a shot. Thus, I have scope on 12X and can turn up power and see details and can place crosshairs on specific area. Usually at optimum hunting times I am not bothered by mirage but can dial down to 20-25 power if needed. My rifle is heavy and can watch my hit. I feel spoiled. If I was hiking in mountains looking for elusive animals would probably scale down in scope, rifle weight and case capacity, but shooting whitetails and even groundhogs, this is my preferred method. I suppose I am not much of a hunter. [/QUOTE]
