[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1185763, member: 35183"] Seriously consider a 4-16x50 instead of a 6-24. 4-16 is a much more usable magnification range. Your eye position at 16x will be less critical. 4x is a good base magnification. With 6x it is too high. I have the 4-16x50 PST FFP I also have the 6-24x50 PST FFP and I have a 4-16x42 HST with SFP and by far my favourite is the 4-16x50. I bought the 6-24x50 for longer range hunts out west where a max magnification over 16 could be beneficial, but you will notice that most high end scopes do not go over 20x due to mirage and the problems related to the small exit pupil size. Vortex would have done a lot better if they had built a 5-20x scope instead of a 6-24. So if you do not already have one, get a 4-16x50. Then if you need a second (for a more long range capable rifle) get a 6-24 or a 5-20 if Vortex has added one by then.... [/QUOTE]
