[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 15832"] I'm game to offer an opinion... A good scope should not change POI as you cahnge power settings.. old addage "you get what you pay for" I don't own any fixed power scopes and never will most likely ( unless someone offers me an Unertl 10X sniper scope) I use my rifle in all terrrain and all types of situations.. I hunt PA on 5X, same scope in WY on 15X.. when I shoot PD's and the mirage is down I wish I had 100X!! to answer the first question.. snipers use 10X to 1000 yards and then some... 20X will kill you if the mirage is bad... 3X will most likley not work at 900 yards... I know guys that have shot many a deer past 500 yards with the 14X lupy... I know on 10X 500 yard groups of 4" or less is no sweat... it all depends on your ability and how much you practice with what you have... just buy and try..... if ya don't like it someone will....
