[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1199424, member: 12995"] Unless most of your shots are sub-100 yards, or in a real brushy environment, the extra 2x magnification of the 6-24x50 should not be a problem. For my main lightweight deer rifle, I use a 3.5-10x50, but that particular rifle is only for 500 yards and less, although it's capable of much farther. With that being said, I normally keep my scope on 6x magnification while in the stand for any shot between 100-500, and I adjust accordingly, because I don't normally carry a rangefinder or spotter, or anything else optics-wise other than the scope on my rifle. For a purely hunting scope for anything from 50 to 500 yards, the 4-14x would be hard to beat. For something you plan on shooting 100-1000, the 6-24x gets my vote. But I am no expert, this is all just my personal preferences. [/QUOTE]
