[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 3052264, member: 31392"] Good point about having a low power option when hunting over bait, the two guns I use on bears over bait both sport 1.5-6x42 scopes and I don't know if I have ever taken them off of 1.5 except when sighting in. Remember to turn the power down to its minimum after sighting in. Too many folks try to find the right spot of black to shoot on the entirely black animal, because they cranked their scope up to max magnification when sighting in and not turning the power down to a minimum. Even the gun I use for stalk and hunt is a 2-10 power and it stays on 2 until I need to shoot in the open. It is nice to have the fast pointing 2 power on the gun should I ever have to go after a wounded bear in the brush. [/QUOTE]
