[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 842508, member: 39764"] Whatever the preference, always keep in mind that the higher the magnification factor, the tighter the eye relief gets. Consequently, with a heavy recoiling rifle at high initial magnification, the chances of a black eye (or worse) are increased. I have a 6.5-24 on my big bore rifle and I don't believe I've ever cranked it beyond 16 except to see what 24x looked like..... Like having a CTS-V. You know it's under the hood, but you don't ever use it, maybe once for a rush, but thats it (and I speak from experience on that...lol) The other issue is 'shake'. At high magnification, the slightest movement of the rifle is magnified by the scope power. I shoot offhand a lot so cran king it up adversely impacts my shooting prowness. The CTS-V don't shake btw, it just rocks. [/QUOTE]
