Got curious about magnification you use

[LEN]

I'm talking in any type of hunting or target. For walk about I use something in the 2.5x to 10x for both standing and running targets from rabbits to elk-moose. For varmints like gophers and sage rats I use 6x to 32x scopes but rarely go above 14x for the shot but on a cold day have been known to go to 24x to hit an unsuspecting eye ball. And for paper punching I like something in the 24x range but while I did the BR thing I was in the 36x to 50x. The older I get the more power I like.

.270 Win (2-7)
.338 Federal (2-7)
30-06 (4x)
30-06 (3-9)
25-06 (4x)

The '06 sporting the 3-9 will be getting a smaller scope. It came on the gun when I bought it.

30-06.  3-9
30-30.  2-7

Most everything I use is 3 x 9 power, and I like to shoot/hunt with it kept at 6x.

3x9 with a 30.06. I've found that the KISS theory applies very well to me.
Wait a minute.........did I just tease myself?

I prefer my scopes to have a low end of 3x or less.  I run 3x-9x's on most rifles, though I'm really fond of 1.5x-5x's and 2.5x-8x's.  Most of my hunting is shorter ranges in thick Westside jungle country.
