10 mils on the bug splattered Superchicken windshield I can honestly live without as the erector has enough to keep me giddy. If SWFA offered the Superchicken sans bugs, I'd have more than a few. I'll concede that the bug splats assist immensely with the wind voodoo...
So, having said all that, there's going to be a couple more MRAD chickens ordered as I have another .22lr and a .223 to set up.

I have a SWFA SS 12X MIl/MIL scope on my SPS .308 varmint rifle,good glass and turrets . I prefer the 10X,if only because I have both...but that glass is farrrrrrrrr and away the most for the least. Easy to arrange 100MOA/30Mils + on the erector,after a 200yd zero................... Did you beat on a 16X yet? And why the 10 over the 12?

And I've been told...(grin)
Not to hijack but just found the .223 pictured will stabilize 73 gr Bergers and shot them pretty well at 100 anyway.. So lookin to try some zip code fun with that one.
I hear good things about the SS FF in that application, to tie back into the op..
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

I suffer numerous 16x's but am doing my best to not suffer another. Have 'em in M8 1",MK4 M1 and T's.
As magnification goes up,friendliness goes down(eye-relief,eyebox,ease of acquisition,light gathering,erector travel,yada,yada.).
The 10X is light years better than the 12X,regarding a forgiving nature...............

I like about 4 power on the low end for when I'm in the woods, and I like the 14 on the edge of the hay field. As much as I like the 6.5-20x50 with the TMR reticle, the 6.5 is (to me) a bit much for the woods.
A 5-25 or a 5-20 would also suit me just fine, though I just don't need another scope. 603, There's more to it than magnification. A 6x Leupo has nearly the same FOV as the 4.5-14x. And its easier to get behind without the tunnel vision. I agree with Mathman and others... the 4.5-14x ain't my cup of tea. And the 4-12x has a shhit ton of eye relief. Had a 30mm 6.5-20x but sold it before it got broken-in. Hay field? J

Not your average hay field.
A big one.

4th, you have a good point about the 6 power. I used a Leupold 6 for a number of years, and it'll allow plenty of long range shooting. The reasons for my 4.5-14 suggestion are mostly based on the fact that it's a VX3 and not a VX2, and I like the VH reticle, which I don't think is available in the VX2. The VX3 is just a bit better grade of scope. If he has the money, go for the higher quality.

6x is not enough for distant pursuits and too much up close.
The VH reticle RULES.

I really HOPE this is not going to be an awkward silence!.............. You seem to enjoy being a Dickhead I'm not sure why so many others like it | Maybe they are dickheads too
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

I'll feign my "surprise",that yet another Clueless Phuqqing Window Licker was powerless in her refrain,to keep from Whining.
Congratulations?!?..................

A small number of people defend you and speak highly of you. They must see something I don't.
The OP asked for scope info and I offered my opinion. You offered nothing beyond insults, which seems consistent with your normal approach. I don 't understand why you do what you do, but I really don't care. 603, If its not clear, you've been given rope to hang yourself with. The bail is wide open, sans drag, for you to run. You offered CDS, TMR, and references to BDC. Stick challenged that view with the M1. Insulted or not, I think you've glossed over the discussion... TMR or CDS vs M1. Look at it this way... its REAL easy to give advice for shooting over hay or corn fields. But when someone challenges your view it looks silly to say you were "insulted" and run to the corner. I'd like to hear you sell the CDS or TMR, and how it relates to an M1. Jason

If I thought for a second that the two of you honestly had a question, I'd spend some time on an answer. The OP has all the info he needs to make an informed choice.

Maybe I can get some help here too although the application is a bit different. I need something for an M700. Shots close......usually between 50-200 yards. Needs to be more rugged than sophisticated. I'm not smart enough to turn all those dials and the rifle usually gets dropped more than once and stays wet for 7 days. Any advice on bullet proof mounts also appreciated.

Any advice on bullet proof mounts also appreciated. Leupold DD bases/Burris Signature rings. That will grant mechanically centering windage and reap max erector latitude. Crosshairs that don't coincide a bullet's impact...ain't much to swoon. I have have heard good things about the 6x42 myself,especially when wearing M1 ele...................(hint)
