Anyone else noticing...long range scope mag too high
Anyone else noticing the long range shows lately a lot of people, guys/girls alike, struggling to find the targets in the scopes and you see a fair bit of fussing around then ultimately they are backing off the magnification on those big mag scopes before they finally shoot?
Which brings about the question again...how much mag do you guys like and what are your rules of thumb for distance vs magnification etc.???
I've def heard some rules of thumb from both hunters and target guys that run similar in 1x for every 100 yards being more than enough. Make it helpful and educational if you can.
Ie; target guys often heard saying that they can aim no prob at single digit inches size targets at 1000 yrds with quality 10x optics. Hunters talking about coyote or deer size and up targets with similar rule of thumb. The only exception being the varmint crowd shooting at smaller than coyote size stuff at distance...the prairie dog set like a fair bit of mag for the prairie poodles....lets exclude that for our discussions.
Coyotes and bigger...hunting, share your thoughts pls.
