[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1324212, member: 17844"] It's not just about magnification power , it's also about image quality . A high quality scope with great image quality and definition can use a bit less magnification power and be just as good . A lot depends on the detail you want to see and aim at . An Elk at 1000 needs less magnification than aiming at a prairie dog at 1000 . Depending on how good your eyes are off course . As you get older generally you need more magnification . In a variable scope it is nice to have that extra zoom in power just to check out a target even if you zoom back a bit to actually take the shot . Scopes with good long range capabilities are not cheap , it the extreme end of the sport and the good stuff will always be expensive . I would go 6-24 x 50 . [/QUOTE]
