I just got my first 4.5-14 w/ parallax adjustment. My highest power next to this was a 3-10x. It might be a bigger heavier scope but it is more capable of shooting accurately to long range IMO.
I think when I go to the range even to shoot 100 yards do I use low power or high power to shoot my most accurate groups? You may not need all the power for closer ranges but you maybe glad you had it if the opportunity is there and you know how to adjust the scope for the distance.
