I hunt blacktails in thick brush. My average range on them over the last 20-odd years is about 30 yards. I find that a 4x scope lets me start hunting about 30-45 minutes earlier than irons and stay out that much later. I dearly love peeps, but I'm done with them on hunting rifles.

Legal hunting hours are sunrise to sunset here. I can cover all of that and well beyond with a peep and green fiber optic bead.
