back to 4x scopes yes i understand a bigger target is needed to shoot some what smaller groups ,but i myself do better with more scope power and yes most of my targets do have smaller squares all 1 inch mostly . i like a bigger hunting scope for another reason so i can judge the size of the antlers on a deer ,at my age of 66 i don`t see a reason to shoot little deer anymore its just a personal thing for me, but i do enjoy young people shooting a deer no matter the size for them,for me just watching deer is alot more fun and less work too. scopes i guess the power you use is just a personal thing but i see a advantage to more power than 4x too, yes some will criticize me on here that`s ok, but when i only always carry a 257 Weatherby Mag. single shot i don`t plan on missing if i take the safety off either. Tim the toolman and me believe the same thing more power !
