[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2727014, member: 2939"] Ground squirrels are tiny objects. So I use high power and big objectives. A couple of my AR's have Vortex Vipers 5-25X 50mm. I got them pre covid so they were 1/2 the price that they are now. I also have some 8-32X 56mm for really long range PD red misting. As distance goes up you need really fine cross hairs so they don't cover up the object. People that tell me that they use less than 10 power on long range shooting???? :( I start waving the BS flag. Even in the military the squad sniper rifles had a fixed 10 power for all us young kids with great eyes! I just find higher power to be so much easier on your eyes for prolonged varmint shooting. I've shot as many as 500 rounds per day and I take at least 3 rifle with me and just cycle through them. When gun one warms up you switch to #2 and then #3 I use laser illuminators for low light and night pig hunting [/QUOTE]
