[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1947066, member: 10291"] Personal preference and hunting parameters plays a key role in an individual’s choice of scope. When I first started hunting long range, my max shooting distance was 500-600 yards using a 308. I found that a 4.5- 14x scope was more then sufficient for taking game. When I expanded my distance to 1000+ yards using cartridges with greater ballistic performance, I found scopes in the 5x20(or greater) range offered advantages.....Not so much in being able to more accurately place my bullet at the longer ranges, but being able to better discern brush, animals, and other potential interferences at those longer distances. IMO. [/QUOTE]
