Colster Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have an 3-9x56 Zieler on mine, never comes off 6x and still manages to hit rabbits at out to 175yards, which was my longest but regularly hit them around 140-150 off a bipod or sticks.

Paddy Galore! Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 the high mag is useful for zeroing, saves getting up and walking the the odd hundred or so yards to see where you've hit, 14 mag is ideal, leupold make some very good quality glass.
