[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1288951, member: 70559"] Here is a little tid bit of practice info. If you plan to hunt with your high powered scope and there is any chance at all of a close encounter one should practice dry fire drills with the scope set on say 20X. Throw the rifle up like something jumped up and practice getting the 20X on the target. If one does this often they discover 6X or 8X is like a wide screen TV. "I have a hunting buddy that missed his shot opportunity as he had a 8x-32 and the deer was at 50 yards!" This reminded me I once killed a rattlesnake with a rifle carrying an 8-32X. It was a few feet from the end of the barrel. Normally the snake would be safe, but I was planning to sleep right there without a tent. [/QUOTE]
