[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 1996499, member: 36951"] If you aren't accustomed to shooting high powered scopes, familiarize yourself with the narrow field of view in a high-power scope. More than one hunter has fallen prey to marketing and hype of high power and ended up either not finding an animal in the scope, or, worse, shot the wrong animal/shot a second animal because they couldn't see. The old school fixed 4x and 6x scopes were sufficient for years. The standard 3x-9x covers most situations for most hunting situations and most hunters. If you want higher power and better reticle features, welcome to the club. But don't forget, lots of game has fallen quickly and cleanly to hunters using scopes with magnification set lower than 10x.
