Though hunters tend to think bigger is better - when it comes to scopes, this isn’t always the case. Choosing a scope with the right magnification is key to making the best possible shot. Plenty of veteran hunters out there will tell you that choosing a good variable scope with a low end that’s truly low will give you the best results.
Find a variable scope that is 1.5×6 or 2×7 for the best view - and when you’re using it, keep it set to the lower magnification. Everyone knows at least one hunter who’s his chance at a great trophy he spotted across the field. The guy checks his scope and can’t find the deer again to line up his shot. Why? Because his scope was set too high to spot anything at even nearly close range.
Learn from his mistake - keep your scope set under 5x unless you’re glassing further afield. Also, bear in mind that perpetually looking through an over-magnified scope can lead to serious eye strain, or worse.
