I've been pleasantly surprised with a 4x on my 270 fwt. Just switched back to the original scope that's been on the rifle for years (according to the original owner). I adjusted the eye focus for my vision and damn if It works like nobodies business. I've shot some pretty good groups with the old girl and her old piece of glass (steel tube weaver K4). With this in mind, I believe the same can be said about a good 6x scope.
