[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1511167, member: 95344"] Generally speaking field of view is larger on low powered scopes. Another generality is that lower powered scopes are brighter. 400, 500. even 650 yards IMO doesn't require that much magnification. I hunted mostly Central Oregon so similar terrain and found 2.5x8 or 2.5-10 about all I needed. But everyone has different tastes. 3-18X will be fine. But whatever you get if you're going to use the dials then spend the extra money to get repeatable dials. And the best quality glass you can get will serve you better and longer. I go more for light gathering, clarity, accurate color than magnification. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
