For 20 years I used a 2-7 Redfield. I killed more animals at 5 power than any other, because that was where one quick twist of the power ring put it as I mounted the rifle. A close second would be animals killed at 2 power, and the rest were killed with max 7 power when I had plenty of time.
In recent years my main big game rifle is a 3-9 Leupold, with about the same ratio of shots at mid, low and max power. For my predator calling rifle I've gone back from a 3.5-10 to a 2-7, and shoot nearly everything at 2 power. (The point of calling is to bring them to me, so let them come up close!)
