[QUOTE="cookvineyards, post: 2684998, member: 125056"] You are on the right track my friend for hunting. My experience is from a precision background, I have the fortune of being able to shoot on my own private range with steel out to 1mile. My bench rifle has the Vortex razor gen 3 with 6-36 on it. I'm only ever using the magnification beyond 20x when trying to hit very tiny targets, zeroing or reading the wind. I'm typically shooting in the 12-15power range with it. My hunting rifle is a custom Mountain rifle that is mounted with the 3-15 vortex razor hd lht scope. I shoot regular out to 1,000+ yards on steel and am comfortable on game at the capability of the rifles maximum range for the load I am shooting. One thing to consider is when shooting at distance, how soon can you get back on target after the shot breaks? At higher magnification this generally takes longer. Your best bet would be to buy the best glass you can afford in a lower magnification range 18max IMO and make the image as crisp as possible. Even a really good 3x9 power scope is capable of repeating 1,000 yard shots all day long. Happy hunting and shooting [/QUOTE]
