[QUOTE="marinetowgunner, post: 712345, member: 46005"] I think it's personal preference when it comes down to magnification choices. The way I decide it: 1....will this be a low light shooting instrument. If so I try to get the largest exit pupil possible. 2....am I going for precision or accuracy in my shooting. If I'm shooting for accuracy (just putting hits on target like in hunting or just banging steel) low mag works fine for me. If i'm going for precision (shooting little tiny groups) I tend to gravitate to higher mag. 3....to give myself an idea of what the image will look like, I divide the distance by the magnification. Kinda helps me to visualize how big the target will seem. That's how I look at it. [/QUOTE]
