[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5536037, member: 1409"] Common mistake many make is buying a rifle scope with too much magnification. For most TN woods hunting, a 2-7x is actually advantageous over a 3-9x, and greater magnification can actually be a handicap. With higher magnification comes a much smaller "field of view". This often means the shooter cannot "find" his target thru his scope. Average "woods" shot will be under 100 yds. 2x magnification turns a 100 yd target into a 50-yd view with a lot of "view" around the target. 7x magnification turns a 100 yd target into a 14-yd view with very little peripheral "view" around the target.
