[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1324207, member: 87243"] I have a 6.5-20 and I shoot out to 1600+ yards with it, on a 12x20 steel torso target, and while I can do it just fine and make hits, 25x would be nice once past 1200 yards. under 1200, 20x is fine just fine. I shoot 1000 with a 16x PST and it's not bad at all, shooting at steel targets MOA or slightly bigger. But as eklarsen said, glass quality will make more difference than magnification. An el-cheapo 8-32x scope will get its butt kicked by a 5-20 Vortex Razor as far as being able to see your target and place good shots. [/QUOTE]
