Doesn't matter to me, I want everything stacked in my favor. I'm also looking for better than decent.
I dont compete but when I started gettinging into LR about 20 years ago I figured out quick my 3x9 Leupolds weren't gonna cut it.
For a dedicated LR rig, I’m with you. But for a LR hunting rifle, there are downsides to high magnification and the scope package it comes in.
That's why I have a variables, take a 10 power scope set up a 5" Bull at 1,000 can you see it? My bet is not a 10x scope out there you can center up on it.
So how do you really know how well your gun shoots if you can't hold center on a Bull on whatever target your shooting at
