[QUOTE="Snowbird, post: 1199522, member: 87588"] pecco, i'm no expert but i'll try to help. i'll also assume you have access to a 3x9 scope somewhere. put out an object, deer decoy or a natural object about game sized at 100 yards. dial that scope to 6 power and try to acquire the target. repeat the test at 4 power and then be honest with yourself about the results and your likely shot opportunities. if you're only shots are beyond 200 yards, then a 6x may be most appropriate. below that the 4x will likely come in handy. as to the original question, i'm quite fond of my 4-16 and do shoot long range but don't hunt at the distances that a 24x would be more appreciated. i do shoot target out past 800 regularly, but find my hunting situations rarely duplicate my practice. i also find most of my shots to be between 50 and 350 yards. the 4-16 works well for that and beyond. only you can say if you need more magnification at a given distance. plenty of military snipers use 10x fixed to shoot well beyond 1k. good luck with your choice [/QUOTE]
