[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 515421, member: 34084"] For any type of short range and/or woods hunting, I would not go higher than 5X magnification on the low end (I prefer 1.5-3X). You want a wide field of view and large exit pupil for fast target acquisition. I see no problem using 14X for big game at 1000 yds. The Leupold 4.5-14X50 is a nice scope and quite a bit lighter than the Nightforce, as I recall. Again, for hunting the SFP has an advantage: the reticle is larger and easier to see at low mag. This helps in poor lighting conditions. In this case an illum reticle may be optional (really a matter of personal choice). [/QUOTE]
