[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 598644, member: 21869"] Depends on your skill set. The lower power in general is easier to acquire target. I shot alot of whitetail, jump and shoot running w/ 6x. One of my best shots was a mallard lifting of a pond and I pulled hammmer back on a 4x Marlin , no bullet, levered one in and shot the duck. I repeated this on a few grouse. When I was younger I SHOT ALL THE TIME. I shot bb gun at cans thrown buy myself, as I READ IN ''Shooting" by Jack o'Conner.Throw the gun to your shoulder 1000's of times and power means less. Back in the day when I SHOULDER CARRIED, I flipped rifle up from waist in a f orward 180 as taught to me by my pistol coach, grab grip and rotate stock to shoulder. Now I USE SAFARI SLING and rifle is at ready position, I have no problem getting on target fast on 4x. [/QUOTE]
