[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2685575, member: 7999"] I have been running scopes in the high 20x range for a while now. I really like the near 30x when dialing in a rifle at long range. With that said I recently grabbed a 1-6x and put it on a rifle. After shooting this out to nearly 900y on .5 moa targets I am wondering why I have been messing with these huge high magnification scopes that are heavy. I think optical clarity is more important than power. A reticle that is thin enough at long range not to cover the target and you are good to go. I am moving away from high power for hunting. Other than designated long range rifles for 1000y application. [/QUOTE]
