[QUOTE="mobenzowner, post: 1361873, member: 94161"] Are you talking 600 yds as a hunting application or as a target application? I think the answer is different. To me, depending on the load you are using 600 yds is about the limit for deer sized animals. You should be around 100 ft lbs of energy which many seem to use as a guide line as a minimal energy level for deer sized game. With that said many have killed deer with 6.5 creed at much longer ranges and I sit in no judgement of those that do. In this regard either scope you mention will work fine, but I would lean towards the 4.5-14. If competitively target shooting at 600, I would go higher magnification than those listed. If doing so for fun, you can do well at 600 with 14 power. [/QUOTE]
