[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 344938, member: 11717"] hjorst, I wasn't trying to lambast you and I dont think anyone else was. I was just trying to share my experience with you so you could make an informed decision. If you choose a high power fixed scope, there will be days you just will not be able to shoot due to mirage. If you are set on a fixed power scope, my recommendation would be to get one with the lowest power setting you think you can live with. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, but they're not real bad either. I cant speak for you, but 10x is more than adequate for me for 1000 yd shooting. The quality of glass you choose will make a big diff. Lower power is also better to mitigate parallax. Again, I didn't mean to step on your toes. A lot of guys come into these forums looking for advise on a plan they have and end up changing their minds after hearing more info and experience. And I think it's a good read for anyone else considering a fixed power scope as far as the real benefits and drawbacks are concerned. Regards, Mark [/QUOTE]
