[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1996373, member: 14204"] This is subjective as we all have different quality of vision. I currently have 2.5-20, 3-18, 4-20, 4.5-14, 5-20, 6.5-20, etc. I am 58 and like you, my vision is not as good as it used to be. I have a mono-vision, LASIK done on my left eye for the LR but my left eye is uncorrected because I need it for reading. I could have both of them done but I would need reading glasses. The problem with my mine is that I am left eye dominant but shoot right handed. Anyways, "actual" shooter's vision plays a significant role in the magnification, you cannot shoot what you cannot see. 😇 A few years ago my son shot at a target 966 yards away at 6X, I had to crank it to 12X. As others noted, 3-15/18 is ideal for most. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
