Is a 4.5-14 scope enough?

[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1460989, member: 6330"] While shooting Prairie Dogs in SD my buddy shot a dog out to 675 yards with a 16X scope. I have a 3.5X15 and 5.5x22 that I was using. In my opinion, the reticle of the scope in going to be as important as magnification (within reason). I shot several dogs with a 3x10 mil dot, but had great difficulty with a 16x Mk 4 with duplex. The wind blows constantly in SD. I held for most of those shots. We hunted on Indian Reservation, on pristine dog towns. We shot a few at less than 40 yards with a 1911. We shot hundreds of dogs <300 yards. Having a PD town that has not been shot recently is very important. PD react to the noise of the shot. Shoot in one direction and dogs will come out in another. It is a lot of fun... Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
