I am not as experienced as some of the members here, but I have to agree that I cannot remember using more power than 6x for anything I have killed out west but I have not killed anything past 260 yards. I do like the VX3i 4.5-14x40 and have it on my .270 cal. I plan on putting it on my 7 mm shortly.

I prefer life in the fast lane, but I am married to a speed bump.
