[QUOTE="Kpknifemaker, post: 2806003, member: 107189"] You have a lot of answers, but thought I would add my own preference that is more indirect to your question and more hunting situational. For my blacktail and elk hunting in Western Oregon, I want a variable scope with a good low end of 2x or 3x in the dense woods. Shot this years buck at 25 yards. I do have a 1.5 x - 15x on my wife's gun for Western Oregon. I then want a 15x or 18x when I popout of the deep woods to look across a canyon. My vintage eyes like that higher power. I like my 3x-18x scopes. Eastern Oregon, out in the sage and wide open space for pronghorns or mulies that same scope 3-18x still works great. I do have some higher magnification scopes, but I like the sweetspot of 3-18x. [/QUOTE]
