How often do you turn your current scope up to maximum power.

Rarely do I find myself zooming up to 9x, even on longer shots, those at 200 yds and up. I find myself concentrating on the game, getting the cross hairs on target and getting the shot off, rather than the power that my scope. Often I find that, with the cross hairs on target, I'll zoom in just enough to feel confindent in the shot, without regard to the actual power number. AFter the shot, more often than not, the power ring is in the 6x- 7x range. That said, I use a 2X7 on my 338-06 but have 3x9's on most of my other big game rifles, including a 270.
