Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Does the 4X scope still have a place in the modern hunters lineup?

Don't tell anybody, but I have one on a Savage Model 99 in .243. It was the only scope I had, that had the correct eye relief for the rifle, and I put it on there until something better came along. After I used it, I found out it was just fine in the KY woods. If I can hit a squirrel head sized target at 100 yards regularly, why do I need anything better? I can hear the scoffing from here.
