[QUOTE="Sharpstick, post: 255053, member: 4368"] Keep in mind that magnification effects other aspects. All else being equal, a 50mm obj scope will exhibit better optical quality in a 14X vs a 20X. I used 14 as an example because it has served my friends and I very well as a hunting power including 1000+ yard scenarios. For a hunting scope you will have many shots in low-light and you never know when you are going to have that quick 75 yard opportunity. The higher power scopes can be less than ideal for those situations. Yes you can turn a scope down, but we use a windage reticle thats built for 14X so we usually leave it there. [/QUOTE]
