I also have to call BS on the people who claim that a 6x (or even a 4x) results in "a scope full of hair" on deer at close range.
I just broke my own record for closest running shot with a 6x, killing a big Texas pig at 10 yards with a 2.5-10x set on 6x. Though I couldn't see the whole boar, I could see airspace above and below his shoulders--and put the bullet right in the middle of his shoulders.
This isn't surprising, since the field of view of a modern 6x is at least 18 feet at 100 yards, which means almost 2 feet at 10 yards.
Beats mine John, closest for me was 13 yards with a M8 6x42. He is hanging on the wall so I guess it worked out.
