You are correct, Sir.



"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

You are right. For me the phrase aim small miss small comes to mind. If its far out there I want to see detail up close as much as I can. I agree though that the 12x-15x magnification is more suitable for 500 yards though.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

I'm in agreement! A 2-7X36 is my favorite size scope but I rarely shoot over 100 yards. I hunts woods 99% of the time and I've only killed deer around 400 yards in 20 years. The last 30 deer I've killed have been under 100 yards, maybe under 50 yards for most.

2-10 for woods and fields. 2x will let you see way later than you should be shooting.

3-12 for general bean field or cutover, maybe a 4-12.

5-20 for long range, 500+


These are my guidelines and what works for me. YMMV

I've got a 3-15 and to me it's perfect. You can see plenty well at 5-600 yards and at the same time have low enough power for low light
