I generally agree, well practiced, there is no such thing as too much magnification or too close for a scope. I started using a two sight system at the end of my 3gun running, a red dot set up at 25 yrds and the scope on 8-10x for the 100-300 yrd work. Liked the set up, so I converted to it for hunting.
Also helps for low light morning shots when the glass isn't quite bright enough yet.
