[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 767479, member: 10391"] Everyone has a different idea of what is the appropriate power. What you need to do is decide on the primary use of the rifle a given scope will be on. For instance the 4-16 would be a better choice than the 6-24 if you spend a fair amount of time hunting elk or deer in the timber where shots down to 75 yards or so would be possible but yet cross canyon to a 1000 yards. You would want the larger field of view that the 4 power would provide compared to the smaller of the 6 power. If the rifle is for target shooting or used in open country where the shots are way out there most of the time the 6-24 would be a better choice. When shooting targets the more power the better ....kinda. My choice for a hunting scope is in the 3-15 or 4-16 power range. [/QUOTE]
