Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles How good is a 7mm remington mag for a longer range rifle.

Scope magnification is a personal decision and it really depends on you and how you shoot. I find that I use 5-8x in the field, depending on range. For whatever reason, I find it significantly harder to use 10x than 8x on live game. The point about a large scope destroying the balance of a light rifle is well made; I'm not sure that I'd put a large scope on a rifle without a bipod.
