These threads always crack me up. Why? Point blank. It's because everybody here knows JB reads these forums, and in trying to emulate him or somehow get in what they think is his ring of approved posters, they try to use what they feel is his opinion to shout down other posters, thereby gaining his approval. It's just comical.

No. I happen to have a mind of my own. I don't have to recite others opinions to have one.

Ha! Apparently none of us using fixed power scopes have actually used them in the field.
I was shooting coyotes with 6x scopes long before I knew who JB even was.
But don't let facts get in the way of your conspiracy theory.

This whole thread could have ended after Keith's first post, as he said it all. Yet, people just have to force their opinions down others throats.

What about all the fixed powers proponents just trying to impress Mule Deer? Abandon your theory so soon?

You can spot these people easily. The first word in the phrase "case head separation" is always "incipient".

Amazing what people see in a discussion.. I guess they read into it what they want.. I like a 6x, but prefer a bit more power.. One of the most deadly coyote shooters I had the pleasure of hunting with preferred a 6x on his 243AI and .22-250.. Still have three, and they work fine..

FC363,
Apparently you're one of those guys who likes to leap to assumptions and go on rants. I wondered who you were a while back on a thread about handloading to velocity, when you didn't read anything beyond the headline of the thread, then started ranting without the slightest understanding of what was being discussed.
You did it again here. I can't remember ever suggesting a straight 6x is perfect for ANY varmint rifle, and in fact don't have one on any of my varmint rifles, or even any of my rimfires, though have had them on a few in the past. I do like 6x's on big game rifles between .25 and .30 caliber, but also have several variables on rifles from .257 Roberts to .308 Winchester.
Guess you'll have to find some other thread to make assumptions about and get yourself heated up.

I just don't care for people who have to recite everything you say as if it were there own ideas, which is commonly done by people who read more about what they do, than doing it.

I just don't care for people who have to recite everything you say as if it were there own ideas, which is commonly done by people who read more about what they do, than doing it. So who were the guys on this thread that recited JB's info as if it were there own ideas? As a response (My birthday is tomorrow and I have better things to do than argue on the internet)...For one, I don't rembember JB mentioning a 6x as a perfect coyote scope. For two, at least several of the guys who have posted here I know, and am quite assured they have seen 6x work fine on coyotes from their own experience. As an aside, there's a funny thing about JB's data......when I run my own independent tests, they tend to agree with the info he has already compiled. JB is a good man, and it pisses me off when someone talks bad about him, especially when they have absolutely no data to back up their theory against him.

Your attack has nothing to do with you being an independent thinker but has everything to do with going after who you see as a "top dog" to make yourself feel better. Independent thinkers don't act like that but only those who are insecure.

The main reason a 6X works for me is because I don't see the dog until he's about to fall in my lap.

I have variable power scopes on my calling rifles but find myself leaving the scope on 6 power and never turning it up or down while calling.

6x's are awesome until they aren't. But most times they are.

I didn't think my question was going to lead to such a debate. Thought is was pretty straight forward.
