As I grow older and my eyes are not quite what they used to be,hell I've been wearing glasses since I was five,so they have never been that great.I really like scopes with higher magnification.These days,I'm liking my 12x and 15x more and more.I find myself shooting really good groups with the higher magnification,so why turn it down?I think it really depends on your eyesight in general.Me being far-sighted,with really bad astigmatism,my choice may be a good choice for me.I remember Mule Deer writing about Eileen liking a higher magnification too.It really depends on just how well "you see"I also have to agree,we are very lucky to have Mule Deer to help us when we need it.Thank You,John Barsness.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
