Thread: Suggestions for a new scope

On a hunting rifle why go bigger? Ive got 3-9s on three rifles,223 6.5x55 and 308 shoot with them,set on either 4 or 6x only use the higher mag for looking. Bigger scope, heavier more bits to get caught up on branches. Target work sure or if you are a long range alpine kind of guy but a bdc reticle does me out to 500 for the 308 and 223.
