[QUOTE="myshootinstinks, post: 2684990, member: 125170"] For years I used nothing more than fixed 4x or 6x Weavers. In fact I hunted elk with either a 2.5x Weaver or a Lyman peep sight. In those days I had outstanding eyesight and really didn’t need more magnification. Several decades and a dozen eye operations later, those days are gone. I think as a practical matter guys buy too much magnification for a hunting rifle. I understand 20-45x on a LR target gun but about 10-12x is plenty enough on a varmint rifle and the old 3-9x is more than enough on your deer or elk rifle. [/QUOTE]
