I was wondering what members thought about this. I am a believer that most of us shouldn't shoot over 200 yards at deer size game. If that is the case why are shooters flocking toward mega scopes. I see alot of 4x12 or 3x10 scopes at the range on sight in days. The old standard was a 4x fixed and that is now replaced by a 3x9. I have a 2.5x8 that is wonderful shooting groups at the bench but I have always used it set at 2.5x when hunting. Are others finding the same thing, a powerful scope is an aid at the bench but then do we all crank it down to the lowest setting on hunting days. I have a couple of low powered variables 1.5x5 and 1.5x4.5, are others switching over to these too? I am just looking for your opinions here, there is no right or wrong.
