[QUOTE="surgeon260, post: 1430416, member: 103874"] Those are some beautiful bulls! Where in CO is that? I live in Colorado Springs. I have two dedicated long range hunting rifles (28 Nosler and 300 Norma IMP) and both rifles have 16x magnification on the top end. I have found that to be plenty, although my self-imposed limit for shooting at game is 800 yards. For the guys on here who actually shoot at game at 1000+, 25x scopes are nice. I have several of them on target rifles, but they also bring a commensurate increase in weight and bulkiness. 16x is the sweet spot for me in terms of power and portability. The reticle is also important as you mentioned. I prefer thin, illuminated reticles for hunting. [/QUOTE]
