Like the size of the 2.5-8x and the lower setting but I have several of each and as someone else posted they usually stay on 6x permanently unless I am target shooting. That is the only time that the 10x has much of an advantage. I can see bullet holes at 100 on 10 but have trouble seeing them sometimes at 8x, but usually a spotting scope is available so not a big advantage.

"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
