I like higher magnification scopes overall. For tree stand hunting I like 4.5-14x50. Long range the highest I have is a NF 8-32x56. When shooting groups or doing load development, I set my scopes in the highest magnification. Helps me get a more consistent hold. I think it really depends on each persons eyes. I know my eyes aren’t as good as they were a few years ago. If mirage wasn’t a problem I’d like to try something up to 50 power. I agree you can hit targets way out there with a lower power scope. But I know I wouldn’t be able to shoot a decent group because of inconsistent point of sim.
