Several years back I shot a 2.5-10×56mm Schmitt and Bender on my 7mag bean field gun I can't recall ever turning it up past 6 power for any shot.
On a lighter weight woods gun I like a smaller scope...a 1.5-5 ,or a 1.5'-6.
Either can easily take you to 300 yards and beyond on a deer.

Ask yourself are you looking for a scope to make the shot....or study the animal and make the shot.

I use binoculars to study something. Years ago I had a guy put his scope on me at 150 yards...he later claimed he thought I was a stump sitting on the side of the hill....thank goodness he didn't decide to target practice.

Scopes are made for shooting binoculars are made for looking.
