[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1193710, member: 78762"] If a fixed power works for you then that is all that matters... Personally I have lost track of animals when my scope was dialed up to high and the animal was close. I also shoot 3-gun courses and know a high powered scope is hard to use close quarters. But again, people can make it work. I was voicing my personal experience... I will add some personal experience with super high powered optics. I always thought I had to have high power to shoot long range. Now after years of shooting long range. I have found that 10 power is enough for most of my long range shooting. But I try to purchase a scope with 14 max power and usually dial it back to 10 power for 1000 yards and less. But that's for steel mainly. If I'm going after a clay pigeon at 1100 then 14 power helps. [/QUOTE]
