Rifle Scopes Such thing as the best magnification ?

Fixed 10x.....everything else is for communists and people of a delinquent moral standing.
Low end 3X - 4X. High end 15X - 20X.
I've done 100 to 1100 successfully with a 3-15X and a 4-16X
Best is in the eye of the beerholder. But I think works great Heather's will completely disagree.
Where I shoot I can only get out to 600 yards. Around 7 maybe 9 power depending on the day, sometimes 5. This is for typical range shooting, banging Steel having a good time Etc. If I'm doing load development then maybe I'm in the 12 to 15 power range
Now, if we're talkin about competitive benchrest shooting out to 600 yards then I'm looking at it somewhere around 40 power.
But what I really prefer is no power, iron sights. That's what starts separating those that can and those that have to buy their score

So many variables...
I love a good 2.5-10, but sometimes prefer an awesome 4-16, then thoroughly enjoy my 5-25.
Really there is no best, it's what works best for you.

I can't speak to the best , but what ever mag I am using as long as its give me a clear and crisp view of what ever target I am shooting at and allows me to see what I want to see seems to work for me from 5x's to 50 x's I had a blast using 40 x's at 1000 yards . I also loved turning it down when I need and or want to . Choices are wonderful to have especially when they cost 1/2 the cost of other scopes . Good luck with what ever you get may it serve you as well as you want it to .
