I like to have the most magnification I can have shooting at a deer standing still.
I understand hunting in the woods or with a shotgun, but with a high powered rifle, I’m a better shot zoomed all the way in.
If he’s 100 yards or more which 99% of my shots are, I want to be able to see his shoulder the very best I can. I certainly can’t understand long range shooters who say “10 power is all you need”.
I don’t think I’ve killed a deer under 6 power in 15 years. My scope never goes below 8 most of the time. 6-24 would be my ideal scope if I had my rathers.



The reason you hear that a lot on Aldeer is because a lot of people on here are cheap! They want to tell everyone how great their Simmons or Tasco 3x9x40 scope is! When we all know it is crap! I am like you and want the best I can afford and Love a high powered scope as long as a low power is still available. My favorite scope has become my 4-20x52 Leupold just for that reason. However, for hunting, I rarely dial it past 12-16x just because there is less forgiveness in the scope on eye relief and light gathering. But if at the range shooting at 600+ yards, I dial it up to 20x.



no need to waste money if it does the job . way they have legal shooting hours don't need much scope, those Simmons 3x9x50 pro staff aint that bad for a cheap budget scope . i prefer some thing else but they do work . at least the ones I've used in the past . i agree with the tasco ones i used early in my life just fell apart on the inside .
