While they are great for target shooting at known distances, I am not a fan of them for hunting. Can they be used for hunting? Absolutely, however if using a fixed 6X and shot presents itself at greater than 400, it becomes much harder to pick out distant obstacles that could impact the shot, as well as making it harder to "hold on a spot" on the animal itself. If using a 10X or 12X, then invariably a shot will present itself at 20 yards through some brush and all you end up seeing in the scope is "brown". Again, it is very difficult to pick the right spot, quickly. That is why I am a fan of variable power scopes for use in hunting situations, even when longer ranges are expected. A 3-10 or 3-12 is what I would be looking for in this situation.

Hint. Laughing!................... Look, I realize that reading comprehension is not your strong suit, but how about you quit messing up people's threads and try offering some really world advice? You claim to have done it all, yet all of your "advice" tends to reek of bull-schit, so how about you let the OP decide whose input they want to listen to? Last edited by HandgunHTR; 07/13/19.

Far more game is missed up close due to too much scope than game lost at long range due to too few x's. For $270 a pop on sale days, buy both and put the loser on a 223 or something. But if buying only 1, I'd go 6x. The new 156 EOL and 147 ELD are both great options in the 6.5-06. Both perk nicely with RL26. Good luck.
