What power scope

[Chow_Hound]

I'm looking to getting a new scope for mainly deer and antelope and just wonder what power scope to get.

Thanks

The anwsers you will get will probably differ as each of us has our own preference regarding this. I personally like and own several 3-9 power scopes but honestly I prefer a 2.5-10 power scope. Where I hunt, it is very thick cover so I leave my scope on 4 power all the time then if I happen to be in a clear cut I can crank it up to 9 or 10 power. I have hunted the open sage brush in Nevada, E. Oregon and E. Calif. the scopes I mentioned above were more then adequate for this type of terain as well.

Good luck,

anythin from 2-7 allthe way up to 4-14.5 is what I would use depending on your style of hunting. just remember quality of the scope is very important. you can make a 400 yard shot just as easy with a scope on 9x as you can on 16x

I use a 4-12 Bushnell works really well for deer and elk, good quaility and well priced.
