How many people use the zoom on their scopes?

[Gambo]

Yet another advocate of staying on 6x.....whether it's a fixed or zoom scope.

[Dragonboy]

Typically use x6 to x10 for hunting, target and plinking. Higher mag for longer range generally.

[Manners]

I don't punch paper unless I've been working on the gun and don't plink that often. I shoot for pest control so it's all about less movement is better. I usually experiment with a new scope to find a picture I like and then leave it on that setting.
The one scope that requires constant change is the photon, I'm sure there's some technical reason for it but I'm not sure what it is. Digital vs optical veiw or some such nonsense possibly. ��������

This mildot reticle is accurate for holdover when set to 10 x on this model. I believe that most variable scopes are the same but you need to check your model if you use this feature for holdover. Example at 25 yards one mildot = .9" when on 10 x with my scope.
