There is some argument to having to much mag in the field.
Lads with airguns have huge scopes on their rifle's for a sub 100 yard rifle, sub 50 for most.
I have 4x and feel no handicap, just up and shoot.
Eons ago. I had a 7x and a mate 8x fixed on our CF rifles and we use to reach out to 300 but could just get away with anything close.
Another friend uses high mag variables and yes we have lost shots due to fiddling.
