[QUOTE="A/C Guy, post: 1936803, member: 13490"] I think the trend to ultra high magnification is due to the increased numbers of target shooters and the decreased numbers of hunters. I would wager that target shooters comprise more than 80% of rifle owners. When target shooting with your buddies, FOV is not a consideration, only the ability to see the target as big as possible to hit it. Most hunters are over scoped. It is hard to find a low power scope in a gun store today. Even 3-9 is becoming more rare as the trend is 12x or 16x or 20x being preferred. [/QUOTE]
