I know that’s not a widely held belief in this modern world , but I believe it’s true .
None of my hunting rifles have over 12 power, and my only target scope is maxed out at 18 .
I’m happy to shoot at targets with my 6.5 Creedmoor as far as it can go with 18 power and often 18 is to high in regards to mirage / climatic conditions .
People need to spend more time watching the wind , and less time watching YouTube .

I had a 5x25 zeiss and ended up just using 15-20 of it to get out past 600 odd. I'm with you
