[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2841891, member: 59541"] In my experience, you would be better served with a 3-18 scope in SFP. You state that 450 yards would be your limit. 18x is more than adequate for that range and the lower 3x would be better for shots under 100 yards. I don’t know how much walking you would do but a 5x min scope is a bear to pull up and get a site picture quickly under 100 yards. My rifles for out West wear 5-25x while my PA rifles wear 3-18x scopes. All of my hunting scopes are SFP because I keep them at the lowest magnification unless I have time for a longer shot. My FFP scopes are on my long range target and PRS rifles where judging hits for the next shot is critical. Just my preference, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
