[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2773592, member: 95344"] For specifically hunting I try to balance light gathering and clarity over magnification. That's just me, mainly because I have limited funds. My go to hunting scope for the last twenty some years is a VariXIII 2.5-8x32mm Mildot reticle. It's set up for 500 yards right now with a 180 Partition through a 30-06. I've shot out to 800 yards using a 168 gr CC. Not ideal but it works. I've taken my SWFA 10X well past 1100 yards. Again not ideal but it works. Really out to 500 yards you don't need a lot of magnification. I'd stick on the best glass in a 3.5-10 or something similar and run with it. For big game that's probably all you need. For varmints more magnification is fine if you want. I nearly connected with sage rats this weekend at 588 yards with my SWFA 10X on my 260 AI. Better glass would have been welcomed. [/QUOTE]
