I didn't want to tell you...but I just purchased a 6-24x50 to go on my field gun. I'm ashamed. laugh


Well, least you'll be ready for a shot when a grown un walks out at 1,500 yards.

Bahahaha

The only thing I don't like about scopes with a wide power range is they usually have a lot of tunnel vision on low power where I mostly use them. Most times a 2-7 or 3-9 will look better and have a wider FOV on low power than a 2-12 or 3-12.

The main thing is to pick a scope that fits 90% of your shots rather than trying for one that is supposedly more versatile. My experience is that they tend to do it all with mediocrity. In other words you will have an optically better scope most times with a fixed 6X than a 2-12.
