And I'll bet a guy who can shoot and knows his rifle and scope can make any hunting shot with a nice new middle of the road 6x42 and wouldn't ever have to say, "Boy if I only had a top of the line S&B I would have killed it."
I guess you can argue whether or not I can shoot and know my rifle and scope but I've made a couple shots that I don't think I could have made with a middle of the road 6x42 scope. I can think of one for sure I wouldn't have attempted.
Such shots certainly are the exception rather than the rule but they have a do come up. More to the point is why do you want to limit yourself? I think that bowhunters and muzzleloaders are limitation that millions of hunters enjoy including me. But intil they start having extra hunting seasons for 6x or less scopes I plan to hunt with the best most versatile optics I can afford to put on my rifles.........................DJ
