[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2618185, member: 68875"] For hunting, I prefer a 3-??. I will take a wider FOV on minimum magnification all day over a 5X. It does make a big difference for target acquisition on close or moving game. My longest shot on game (1367 yard coyotes) was set on 17x in a 5-25 dedicated LR elk rifle. Helped me to bag the pair by keeping the second in the FOV after the first shot instead of just the one. My "Hunting" scopes consist of: 5 @ 3-15×50 1 @ 3.5-18×50 2 @ 3-20×50 2 @ 4-20×50 1 @ 5-20×50 1 @ 5-25×56 All have been shot to 1500+. I would take an Alpha quality glassed 3-15×50 that tracks perfectly over a $1000 5-25×56 all day long for hunting and LR steel. [/QUOTE]
