[QUOTE="green 788, post: 731737, member: 3781"] Most people over-scope... mistakenly thinking that they'll shoot more accurately with more scope power. This is rarely the case... You could quarter anything worth shooting at with a 9 power scope at 700 yards... all you have to be able to do is quarter the target, and you can make a good shot. I actually bring out a 4 power scoped Savage .270 at our local 1000 yard matches, and at our long range school--just to show people that you can hit a 24" plate at 1000 yards with a lowly little old 4 power scope. I'd much rather have better glass and lower magnification than to blow the budget on a big zoom scope that's low on clarity. Dan [/QUOTE]
