I have no idea why anyone would want, much less actually pay for a 15X scope for deer or elk hunting, when all you have to do is throw a bullet into a circle the size of a volleyball on a deer, a much larger circle on an elk.
Could it be that some folks like to use their scopes for more than shooting at der or elk? Maybe they use the same rifle for coyotes and foxes and rabbits at long distance also. Maybe they like to see bullet holes at 400 yards on a target. Or maybe they like to brag to their friends and family about the Hubble they have on their rifle. How about if someone wnts to make sure of a point count on a distant animal before he fires. There is more to shooting life than killing deer and elk.
