I have a Tasco 3-9X32mm wideview that I bought new in 1976. I have it on a Remington 700 BDL 30-06 that I bought new at the same time. To this day it still works great. The only adjusting that it ever needed was a couple of clicks here and there when I changed ammo, it never lost it's zero or clarity in the 34 years that I've had it. My new favorite is a Bushnell Elite 3200 2-7X32mm that I put on my Marlin 336ss. I know that the trend has been larger optics and I agree that on small targets at long distances they're beneficial. On a deer sized target though the 32mm works just fine and they'll easily see a deer well past legal shooting hours.
