Absolutely right.Got a mate who shall remain nameless who insists that his Remmy 223 is just the beesknees. He loses more animals than anyone I know, simply because he attempts to shoot them on the...

I've used 2 1/2 or 3 x scopes for years, shot plenty of animals all the way out to 350. We tend to forget that the human eye is an amazing thing, and what it is capable of. Even with variable scopes...
