Aught Six

Good advice from all. All I can say is rethink your rig and make sure you need the extra magnification. It can be nice to have at a long distance rifle range, but even competition shooters don't always go for that kind of power. Or snipers, for that matter. And in the field, you won't have much field of vision when you're cranked up to 16x.

I shoot my .30-06 to 200 yards fairly regularly, and never move the scope from 4x. I killed two deer at 140-150 yards within a matter of afewseconds last season because I picked up the other deer as it was about to run as soon as I looked through the scope. If it were on 9x, I doubt I could've taken two that day.
