Hey Ridge, 700yds with a 6-20X ? The Marine snipers train with
10X glass out to 1000m. The more I shoot with my high power
glass the more I dislike it. Figuring in things such as mirage etc
the more that I am satisfied with less magnification. That's why
5 of my 8 rifles sport Nikon Monarch 4-12X's. Power is great
for glassing but it ain't worth a damn for shooting. The more that
you shoot at distance in different weather, the faster you will
see the light. I have a NiteForce 8-40X56mm and I seldom shoot
over 20X. And that's on a winter day. In the heat over a hot PD
town, I rarely go over 10X. JMHO.
