[QUOTE="captainjoe, post: 515658, member: 33428"] I have wrestled with this question myself. My problem is that I hunt up through timber to get up to some favorite meadows that I like to set up for some long shots in. If you see something in the timber at 10-30 yards (which is not beyond the realm of possibility), 5x or greater could be a challenge to use at that range. Ideally a 4x or less would be better. It's all down to compromises. I decided in the end that taking a shot at 1,000 with a 15x is not beyond the realm of possibility and also I might be able to stalk in a bit closer if I am concerned. On the other hand, if you happen to walk up on some big game, you want to be able to take a fairly quick snap shot. [/QUOTE]
