[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1437022, member: 10291"] I’m cautious of using target scopes for hunting. Even the famed Nightforce Benchrest scopes at 32x and 42x on the top end are great for target shooting when set at a bench. Start varying power, adjusting parallax, and spinning turret and, IMO. they seem to be more difficult to manage precisely under field conditions. They are big, heavy, and cumbersome as well. The highest power I have used for hunting to 1200 yards is 20X. I’ll keep my rifle at 10X while hunting and fine tune for the conditions of the shot. My long range hunters are generally 5x20 range, weigh under 30oz, and compact(30mmtube) in size. My favorite is my March 2.5x25x52, MP-3 reticle, SFP. [/QUOTE]
