I see all sides, personally I've used 2.5x, 4x, 6x, 10x and 12x fixed power scopes. I've also used variable scopes up to 24x.

I shot my first deer with a 20ga 870 with a fixed Simmons 2.5x scope in the woods about 75 yards with a pumkin ball as my grandfather called it lol. Those where the days!

Honestly I prefer to shoot low power scopes, but I have gravitated to variables that have a very low side say 1x or 2x on the bottom.

I love fixed power scopes, but the truth is I don't own any now. I greatly appreciate and enjoy shooting fixed scopes, but if I m being honest a quality 1-6 or 2-10 or something like that offers more up side to me at least!
