[QUOTE="GreenDecoy, post: 1979467, member: 109506"] My issue is not with high power scopes for hunting, although they are mostly unnecessary. My issue is with highly variable magnification range and FFP reticles for hunting. Having additional “horsepower” is great for flexibility. But I have yet to see a 6x variable with a useable FFP reticle across the range. The best I’ve seen has tapered crosshairs that appear to stay the same size as you “zoom”. I can’t remember who made that. Burris? anyway, I have used my H59 and other Xmas tree reticles hunting. They have their place in my quiver. But it is not my first choice. my go to rifle scope is a 3.5-10 VX3i with windplex and cds. It meets all my needs. Keeps it simple. And I spend virtually no time setting up a shot. there is no perfect scope. But the simple reliable old 3-9 duplex covers 90% of hunting shots. My high speed Bushnell 3.5-21x H59 actually covers less due to the invisible reticle at 3.5-10x. Great for precision long range. Not so great for a 100 yard first light chip shot. [/QUOTE]
