[QUOTE="Alaska_Guy, post: 1469975, member: 106715"] Depends on your use. For hunting a 3-15 will suite you great. I used to use scopes in the 6-24 range when I first got into hunting as I was a bench rest shooter and that's what I used when bench rest shooting. The only positive I found on the higher magnification was spotting game far out I could use my rifle scope and make out if it was legal or not. After many years of hunting I prefer a 3-9, 3.5-10, or 3-15 for hunting as they are lighter, I had zero issues with my 6-24 burris signatures as other than weight. I have taken shots out past 300 yards using a 3x9 in a standing position successfully with zero issues. I passed on a 420 yard shot last year as I was using a 3x9 scope on that rifle and just recently upgraded to a 3-15 and I am pretty sure that's what I will stick to moving forward. My brother in law has been my hunting partner going on 7 years now, he has been using a zeiss hd5 3-15 for his hunting scope and when I ask to look through it out of curiosity when we are spotting game it has always been excellent and what has made me decide to move to 15x range. I looked at the PST Gen II 3-15 myself due to FFP, but I know that in hunting situations FFP or SFP never matter for me as I have been using SFP for 15 years and I am used to holding over if needed.
