[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 937799, member: 63138"] I grew up using a 2 to 7 power Redfield. It worked great. You could shoot stuff running or standing, near or far (far being 200 yards). That was before "long range" hunting was invented. Once I decided to get modern and acquired a 338 RUM I had to do some thinking about what scope to put on it. I didn't want to give up jump shooting deer but I also wanted to aim small to hit small at long range. That meant I needed a BIG zoom range in my scope. I ended up with a 4.5X to 30X Bushnell 6500 Elite. I love it and have since bought a second for the 300 RUM. I paid around $800. I hear Vortex makes a good scope but they don't go to 30X so that decided it for me. [/QUOTE]
