Agree 100% I like to hear people say I don't nerd more then 9 power. Well sure you don't need it but when the animal is 500 yards away and is a speck in tour scope. It sure makes it hard to use the old saying I was taught to shoot with. " aim small miss small" I like having hair in my scope rather then the whole animal :chuckle:

I have to agree with higher power scopes being a huge plus at distance. I will walk around with my scope on 4.5 but when I have time its on 14 power. I can tell you 9power and a coyote at 500+ isnt the best thing :chuckle:

Give me a large capacity 7 and a big VLD.   Tough combo to beat!

I saw a good topic on cold barrell shoot last night on ch406 . a clean cold bore will throw a bullet off a ton at longer distances , so remember when hunting a slightly foulled barrel is a good idea . For me it will be a 6.5x284 with a break I want to see impact through the scope . 140 vld !
Why? (I have never noticed this problem)

Then you've lived a sheltered firearms life. ;)

Not sheltered, maybe it has to do with how I clean it.  I asked why, because I was wondering if it had to do with some people leaving oil in the barrel instead of running patches until it was completely dry.
