[QUOTE="rifletuner, post: 162106, member: 26"] My 300 mag has a Leupold 8.5 – 25 on it and I have shot game with this on both high and low power settings. I only use this rifle for longer shots, where I tend to have time to set up on the animal without being too rushed. On my most recent hunting trip, I took almost all my shots at around 10 power and found that worked very well. I think the only issue around field of view would be if you were shooting “fast”. Also, its worth remembering that military snipers have used fixed 10 power scopes for a long time up until recently and their needs are a lot like those of a hunter, except that ranges for them start at about 300 yards.
