[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2174799, member: 61747"] I have had several scopes with 5-30 and unless the glass is high end they are not worth the hassle. Most everything I run now is 3-20.... For me the leupold vx6 3-18 x 50 is an fine scope for hunting. I've killed a pile of yotes this winter from 500-1125 yards and never really thought, man, I need 30x to get the job done. Even shooting PRS comps I found I never ran over 20x and most of the time I was around 12-15. Good clear glass with lower mag will seem like it is a high mag scope. It really does make a different to me. Clear bright glass just makes the target pop and allows me to focus better. So in the end, IMHO, higher power is not needed for the average long range hunter.
