LIke most guys who hunt varied terrain, I keep my scopes turned down in the trees and other places where a quick shot is a possibility. When sitting on a ridge or rimrock glassing, my rifle is usually sitting ready on the bipod and the scope is turned up to max. I can see fine details I may or may not see in my binos and make the shot much easier with the highest settings. Usually, though, if you are in that type of situation you have plenty of time to adjust your power ring after spotting game because it is usually far enough away to not be spooked easily. Those are the times I wish I had my Leupold 6.5 x 20 on all my rifles......
