[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1511738, member: 95344"] This is one of the reasons that I posted the OP could get away with a 2.5-8x, 3x9x, 2.5-10x, or something up to 14x. I use the lower power when walking the woods or getting to a spot. You never know what you might come across. Above 10X you get into mirage issues and scopes can get darker unless you go to larger bell objectives. I've shot to 1200 yards using 10x, heck I shot steel at 450 yards to 700 yards with a fixed 2.5X. For hunting I cannot stress brightness in lowlight conditions and clarity as my main criteria. Magnification is nice but secondary to brightness, clarity, and accurate color. [/QUOTE]
