[QUOTE="LB, post: 19624, member: 2721"] [b]Re: What\'s an acceptable magnification for 1000yd shooting?[/b] Well, my advice is still to get a somewhat lower profile which makes acquision so much easier, and can only be achieved with an objective bell of 36/40mm. Asuming this is for general all purpose hunting. The 50/56mm models are NOT all purpose, suitable for the one gun hunter. Quality, well designed rifle scopes with a 40mm objective are very adequate for almost all low light conditions, excepting total darkness. You don't need a huge objective, with all the attendant problems. If you have a low light mission, such as predator hunting at night, get the big scope with the large objective and the 30MM tube. However, these scopes cost a lot of money, so be sure of your need before making your decision. That's my advice, take it or leave it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Good hunting.
