[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 3098070, member: 49619"] Lahunter, OP's statistics say that his crop last season was harvested at a third of the maximum range he specifies plus he hunts in Timber, so do I and I'd rather have both the FOV and light gathering capability of the range I specified. If I'm honest I would have suggested a thermal imaging riflescope but I have no experience of using them though I find a thermal monocular real handy for finding ejected empty cases on cold mornings. Being honest his bullseye is at least 4 or 5 inches in diameter so exact precision, whilst nice to have, isn't absolutely essential. My standby scope for dog driven boar is a stirling nikko boareater 1x4 with a 4moa red dot and that gets used out of a high seat. That's my preference and I'll stand by it, my suggestion was offered on the basis of the information provided by the OP. Simple scopes, simple reticles much less to worry about when next months victuals strolls across a clearing 70 yards away. Not the gear for 500 yard+ shots but we haven't been asked for that.
