    2-10 is the way forward in a quality set of glass. Several times I've been too close to the animal to get a sight picture with a 4x scope - can see the eyeball of the deer by eye but looking at individual strands of hair through the scope and can't actually resolve what you are looking at to be able to identify and place the shot. 2x makes a surprising difference in that situation I found. It sounds weird, but litterally on the other side of a toitoi bush to the deer (2m away for range) you are just too close for the scope to be of any use. Bloody sh1tty Kaimais...
