[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 815326, member: 10306"] 6.5-20 is more magnification than what your looking for in a LW rifle. I would stick to a 4.5-14ish. I would probably even go with a 2.5-10 to save weight and for those close shots (which are usually more likely). I have used my 2.5-10x44 PST out to just over 800 yards and find it ample. If you knew that a lot of shots would be in the 600-800 yards range I would go with a 14x or 16x on the top end, but if they were the "once in a while" type shots I would go as low as 10x. [/QUOTE]
