[QUOTE="Saracen, post: 1510513, member: 99044"] I hate high power scopes as well as variable scopes; yes I'm odd . On a figure 11 target I've had success with a 10x scope 10 x is pushing it for 1200 yards, but isn't unrealistic. If I was rarely ever going to shoot at over 800 yards, I'd go no higher than an 8x scope. Lots of variable scopes are good nowadays, but apparently, even high end ones fail. If you have the opportunity , try a couple of scopes, preferably fixed power, and certainly no higher than 10X for the rare occasions you'll shoot at 1000 yards. Top choices, through personal experience would be, Schmidt & Bender, HAKKO ( if you can find one) Meopta, Swarovski, an older Zeiss...... not the crappy new Zeiss models, possibly a Leupold and in that order.
