[QUOTE="Kroberts, post: 1298712, member: 71507"] Might as well put my input on the derailment to the initial question. You don't need high magnification to hit little things at distance. My friends and I will occasionally play around while shooting a grand and turn our scopes down as far as possible and see who can get the longest hit steaks. I run a 4-16 power and at 16 power, clay pigeons are are in trouble at 1000yards. At 4 power 1/2 gallon milk jugs are about as small as I can consistently go. Holding on and making small groups isnt the problem with low magnification. Seeing and finding the target is the problem. If you can't see it you can't hit it. So give yourself whatever magnification you need to see the target. Magnification is all personal preference, so give yourself what you need to get the job done. Even if it is far different than someone else uses. If you can see the target and hold steady, you can hit it. Even if the retical completely obscures the target, just keep track of where it is. As soon as it dissapears behind the cross point. Touch it off. Kyle [/QUOTE]
