That 6X can cost you a buck in the woods, it happened to me with a 4X. On a misty morning a whitetail can slip in so close that, when you raise your rifle all you see is hair.
Bullschit.
I killed 5 this year with fixed 6x scopes. 21 yards (and walking in hardwoods), 387 yards (open field at WAY dark), 35 yards (walking in mixed bottomland), 7 yards (same bottomland, trotting), and 42 yards (same bottomland, walking).
That's just this year.
Over the years, the closest with a fixed 6 has been 5 yards; furthest was well almost 500. Hunted them everywhere from open fields, to creekbottoms, briar thickets, hardwood stands... among other places, and in 5 eastern states (NY, VT, NC, VT, and NH)... and they flat work, if you have a friggin' clue about mounting one properly, shooting with both eyes open, and how to actually shoot while hunting.
