but find that whenver game appears, I just use the scope set on whatever powder it happens to be on at the time. So I've started putting 6X fixed-power scopes on all my new, serious hunting rifles. 6X is not too much, even at ranges under 50 yards!
Eld,
I totally agree with that statement and have been feeling that way for a long time now. It seems that even when I have time to dial in the scope it always ends up around 6x. Very interesting that you would write what I've been thinking for a while.
I've been faced with this decision a few times and I've always elected to go with the variable. Maybe next time I'll stick to my guns.
