[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 727796, member: 10291"] I think 16x on the top is OK for 700-800 yards, surely on elk. For deer at these ranges I moved up to a 20-22x on the high end. It's not so much the size of the deer that is the issue, it's the usual brush or other aspects of the habitat that I find the higher power will be a benefit. The greater magnification combined with the superb accuracy of the 6.5-284 has made a difference with quite a few whitetail, mule deer, and antelope in tight spots I have taken over the last few years. I have 5x20 Huskemaws on both my 6.5x284's. They have performed very well for me. [/QUOTE]
