normal shooting i tend to do on approx 8x.

there is no right or wrong answer on this one, it is really down to your own preference.


as for zero shift with mag change. yes, in some scopes this will happen./ the best thing to do is set 2 targets at 25 / 30 yards shoot at 3 or 5 shot group at the bull on lowest mag and on the other target on the highest mag.

this should tell you what kind of shift your scope gives you (if any)
