Zeiss conquest v4 4-16x44 vs 6-24x50

[laker]

Can't decide between a Zeiss conquest 4-16x44 or the 6-24x50. Will be for hunting out to 700 yards. For you guys running the 6-24 do you find the 6x a little much for close range when rolling through the timber? That's the only thing holding me back on going to the 6-24 over the 4-16. What reticle are you guys using for hunting for low light?

IMO, the wider FOV of a 4x vs a 6x will serve you better than the power difference of 16x vs 24x. 16x should more than comfortably handle 700 yards and I's assume the majority of the shots taken will be under 400 yards

I do it on a 14 power out to 1000 since the Zeiss glass is so good. Old conquest 4.5x14 tracks perfect. Best scope I have ever bought.
