[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2174875, member: 101791"] I used a Leupold 6 x 25 ( can't remember the lower powder but somewhere in that range.) while Muley hunting a great many years ago. I figure out that even on the lower powers the field of view was very limited, and higher temperatures didn't help either. Now I generally use 2 x 8 Leupold scopes on my rifles and adjust my hold as the yards increases. Put the money in the field glass, and spotting scopes for judging your animals. My feeling is that higher powers just lets you know how much your rifle is moving around when trying to make that shot. Now I do use a straight 20 power on my 220 swift, but I am shooting ground squirrels that are only a couple of inches wide at 400 yds. [/QUOTE]
