[QUOTE="Pistol packer, post: 522542, member: 34702"] different scopes for different purposes. 4X fixed on the 45-70 bear gun with see thru mounts. 1-4X on ruger redhawk 400 yard stock pistol. 10 X straight on 22-250 XP-100, 4-12 burris on 77-22 and 3-9 on all other 22--dont do competition or would go higher. if i did competition would have the highest magnification i could hold as the eyes are weak (started in the 60's with 20-5 vision--truly eagle eyes and never shot anything but iron). long range rifles wear 6-24 or better. i like the spotting scope option with these scopes, keeps carry weight down and 6 X is perfect for carry. keep the AO on 100 and 6X on power for carry quick shots to 200 yards. game tends to sit still longer at ranges over 200 and allows me to adjust the scope from those settings. a class mate of mine as a junior in HS showed me how to keep both eyes open as he was fond of shooting water fowl with a browning 22 in the air. have never had trouble finding even the smallest target with the highest magnification scope since. helps that i can switch eye dominance to whichever eye i want.
