I do keep both eyes open and practice. I'm more comfortable with the 3.5x10x40. The 4.5x14x40 no AO and very clear. It's not as forgiving at 25 yds. I've killed animals with both from 65 yds. to 253yds. Both are VX-III.
LAST EDITED ON Jan-16-17 AT 04:34PM (MST)[p]Which should I use for late season elk? The 4.5 is on there now, the 3.5 is on the shelf. I do hunt timber and PJ. Also the rifle is a 7mm Rem Mag and is very accurate.
