Thread: Hunting with a lower powered scope

I started out with a old M8-4x, then had a 2-7x32 VariXii. This was replaced by a Bushell Elite 1.5 - 6 x 36. This latter scope was great just rather large and bulky for the power range. Finally I've been using a 2-8 x32 Nikon monarch for over a decade now. I find 2.5 perfect for the Bush and generally leave it there (regardless of lowest power), I turn up the power if I have time on a longer shot.
Bearing in mind that 200m is a long shoot for me, and only shot about 4 animals in nearly 30 years of hunting longer than that.
