[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1430406, member: 104437"] My son and I both started out with, 3x9 Burris E1's and like you said they are Ok for the shorter distances but, to work up, accurate reloads and for 400- 800 yard practice at Gongs and for Game shooting, we are now using, 4.5 X 14 Burris E1's and are putting our own "Tape's" on the elevation knob's and "dialing" for distance, in 25 yard increments. Our 100 and 200 yard groups, have SHRUNK almost 50% with, the bigger scopes ! The long range 1,000 yard and Bench rest shooters all use 36-42 power scopes, to shoot very small groups and there's, a reason, "WHY", it's so you can see the Target, better. But then again, there's also, too much of, a "good thing" so about 14-15 power is the Max we'd use as, bigger scopes get heavy/ bulky. Our Tikka's with, the 4.5 X 14's, weigh 7.5 pounds ! Good luck with, YOUR,.. "choice" ! [/QUOTE]
