[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2174837, member: 29241"] I have a 12-42 NXS on my long range rifle and use the upper power a good deal. At 800 yards 18-20 power hinders the sight picture and the viewing size of the animal. When viewing an animal, when light allows, it is on upper power. I have a crosshair reticle with dot and clear sight picture and I can light the reticle and adjust power as light decreases. I have both types but just dont feel comfortable using marks to hold over or hold off at distances over 500 yards. For me, when shooting an animal at long range, I feel dialing scope to exact range is preferred. [/QUOTE]
