[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2685247, member: 9299"] If I assume you are talking deer hunting at those ranges, then I think you are on the right path. Much game has been taken in the 4-600yd range with 3-9x scopes or similar, and even today, I find myself shooting 6" and similar kill area size gongs at 5-600yd with my higher variables set only to 10-12x. For many years, I set many of my variable scopes at 6x for hunting more open country and 2-4x for those closer potentials. I have shot a fair amount of game with the scope still remaining on 6x.
