[QUOTE="dwm, post: 15827, member: 1136"] What magnification is generally used at what range? Varmint hunting: 3x9 is good out until x yards 4.5 x 14 is good out until x yards 6.5 x 20 is good out until x yards 8.5 x 25 is good out until x yards Deer hunting: 3x9 is good out until x yards 4.5 x 14 is good out until x yards 6.5 x 20 is good out until x yards 8.5 x 25 is good out until x yards Ok, so I have 6.5x20s on everything. I also have a 10x40-50mm Tasco. What are 3x9 and 4.5x14s good for? Do I really need to go to 6.5x20 or would a 4.5x14 do just fine? I like to see the bullet holes at the range through my scope.
