There's these newfangled things called "variable power scopes"
They use this stuff called "modern manufacturing methods" to make them precise and very very reliable.

Personally I find variable more useful at the range than when out hunting...
I generally agree with you, with one major exception: following up critters in cover that can bite back. It's nice to be able to dial that scope waaaaay back!
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
