[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2684538, member: 59647"] I think 15x will do everything you need, but I’ve always subscribed to the concept of aim small miss small, and like a little more magnification. Stability is everything. I think using only a tripod with a ball head lacks perfect stability. I’ve got an RRS tripod and several rifles with arca Swiss rails on them, and while this system is pretty darn good, it’s much better if you can incorporate a 2nd point of stability. My pack has a frame sheet in it, standing it straight up produces a pretty good platform for the back of the rifle, under the buttstock. With a tripod up front and pack in the rear it’s rock solid. I’ve also used trekking poles, crossed under the buttstock. Also try shooting prone off the backpack, using a bipod with a light weight rear bag or rolled up jacket at the back of the rifle, etc [/QUOTE]
