    I'm also in the less is more camp. My lever wears a 1-4x20 and has shot deer at 250mtr, and goats at 5 mtr.
    Glass quality is more important than magnification for resolving bullet holes at 100 mtr sighting in.
    I have been considering a move to a 2-8x35 ish scope. But probably won't change.
    For bush shooting field of view is vital as is a coarse crisp recital ( Ie a 4A type) you need to find the retical quickly with your eye against a dark background and find your target.
    . This is not an application for a target scope.
