Scope for hunting out west.?

[marchx]

For longer shots there is not enough magnification. Try shooting 1MOA target at 500m with x10 magnification off shooting sticks. 5-25 is standard today. I think minimum magnification around 4-6 for a hunting scope is nice for wide field of view. The maximum magnification- sky is the limit. If you have money go 30-36. I do hunt up to 300m and I usually go with meopta 4.5-30.

What is such a thing as to much? asking for a friend.
I won't even do load development with a 10 or 12 power scope let alone hunt.
I haven't saw a 10 or 12 x scope on a rifle with people I hunt or live around in years.
