[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3647883, member: 15054"] I do have a crossfire II in 3-9 and it has a more finicky eye position than my Nikons in 3-9. I have had some 20 and 24 power scopes and eye relief is a big issue with me. I do not want to hunt for eye position that ghosting issue on full power is not fun either especially at dusk. In the woods hunting I never needed more than 10X I probably did not need that. At low light I use the lowest power setting and my Nikon 2.5-10 is very nice for that. I have had scopes that lowest was 6 power and on my hunting gun it did not stay on there for long. I suppose it depends on where you hunt. 50 yard shots through a jungle of trees in low light I did not care for it. I was shooting paper often a couple years ago and took my store bought hunting rifles one in .308 my 30-06 and my .243 and it was 500 yards. The .243 won the tightest group one day and it has a 3-9x 50 Tasco on it. Those guns all shot under 5" at 500 yards for 3 shots. Yea 3 shots.. little pencil barrels. The first shot is the one that counts to me and number 2 and 3 are possibly back up but usually not and if I need shot 4 or 5 I may need to stop hunting that critter and learn to shoot :) Yea 20 or more power makes it easier to shoot bug holes on paper as we know but you can still do it with lower power scopes. Which I learned when shooting often with 3-9's at 500 yards I have had many Tasco scopes and some died and some just keep holding on well. I am done buying those Tasco's today though. Last few were all fails. [/QUOTE]
