I like a 6x42 for hunting, because I hunt by myself in the mountains quite a bit.
Same here. I prefer hunting alone.

The large FOV ( and coupled with lower recoiling cartridges) makes spotting hits and misses quite a bit easier, for me personally.
I don't tend to miss. But then I use a brake on everything.

I would have no problem turning a variable down to 6x solely for the purpose of spotting my shot.
Interesting. I turn mine down to 12X to increase the field of view so I can see impacts. Of course this is at the range. When I'm hunting it starts on its lowest magnification setting and is turned up for a shot if it is farther away than off hand close.
