I've shot the February match where it was 23� with 23 mph wind all day, snowing sideways.

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.


+1 to everything in your post
