[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1430421, member: 105102"] I'm going to start this by saying I've never owned a truly high end scope...(over $1000) so as quality goes up, my experiences my not count. My preferred is around 4.5-14. If there is a possibility of a close range shot like we have in western Washington, 4.5x can almost seem too much! I have one leupold 6.5x20, that bounced around on different guns and now is on a target set up. This is due to 6.5x being too much for hunting, and heat waves showing bad when set above 15x....this may be due to scope quality. I think, the low end power is just as important as high end when it comes to hunting! [/QUOTE]
