[QUOTE="Wildcat99, post: 2078895, member: 116975"] I agree with the sentiments here. Have killed lots and lots of Western game. A 3-15X or 3-18X is plenty. I'd much rather have a lower low-power option on my scope than a higher high-power setting. The benefits to shooting game a low magnification levels far outweigh the benefits of cranking the scope up to whatever max power it might have. Better field of view, easier to find the target, easier to reacquire the target after the shot, more forgiving eye relief, bigger exit pupil is a benefit in low light, etc. [/QUOTE]
