[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 2500, member: 8947"] For long range hunting, excessive magnification is actually a detrement, at least to me. I use 10X scopes now for out past 1500yds. All you need is good quality optics that let you resolve your target clearly and put the cross hairs where it belongs. You don't need to be able to count the fleas to make a kill. Without a spotter, I would really emphasise testing your rig so that you can see the bullet impact during recoil. With an effective muzzle brake and rest, your 8x should be fine. If you can see a milk jug clearly, you can hit it. That is pretty much the size of the kill zone on a muley. With my 300Wby, I can see the bullets impact from 300yds out. Even with a spotter, being able to call your own shots is a good thing. Good luck with your hunts... Jerry [/QUOTE]
