For coyote hunting I prefer a 4-12 or 4-16 power scope. For long range target shooting I have a few 5.5-22 and one 8-32. For out to 1200 yards the 32x isn’t required. I have had no problem hitting my 24” target at 1100 yards with my scope set on 5.5x.
For normal hunting applications out to 300 yards I would imagine the majority of us could still kill most animals with a fixed 4 or 6x scope.
