Yep...

Using 12X makes me shaky as all hell. I'm steady as a rock at 4X.

Can someone explain the physical dynamics of this phenomenon? confused

62 Years ago I shot my first deer and antelope with a K2.5 on top of my Savage 99 243. The deer was running at 100 yards from right to left...rolled it. The antelope was standing at 330 paces...dropped it.

At 12 Y/O I convinced myself I needed much higher power scopes, and I changed out the K2.5 for a K4. wink

Now my favorite scopes are 2-7 and 2.5-8, plenty for any hunter.
