Is 16X REALLY the max usable magnification?

[QUOTE="Dave Liwanag, post: 63005, member: 43"] I spoke with a gentleman who extensivley shoots and tests long range ammo and rifles at the Boulder City range outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. They often shoot early in the evening through late night hours (lit targets and no neighbors to bitch about noise) so they crank the Nightforce NXS scopes to highest magnification. No heat, no mirage. In the heat of the day they crank back down to usable magnification. He recommended the 5-5-22X for military application, and 8-32X for NRA-style long range competition. He recommended a 12-42X for shooting if you don't plan on targets closer than 600 yards away (since it has the smallest elevation adjustment range). [/QUOTE]
