[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2070577, member: 68875"] My "elk rifles" are topped with the following. All have taken elk except my 28 Nosler which is new since Oct 2020. From 50ish to 882 so far, by myself or family/friends. .270Win 4-12×50 .280AI 3-15×50 (used to have 3-24×52) 7RM 3-20×50 28 Nosler 4-20×50 .300RUM 5-25×56 (used only for LR elk) To be honest, I don't think a single animal has been taken on max power with those rifles. I think glass quality and repeatabilty are what counts more than super high mag range. I would take a 12x max in alpha glass over a 24x in a cheap Chinese scope. [/QUOTE]
