Thread: Who loves magnification?

Here a Q for you all
My neighbor who will be 80 this year and has shot a lot of Deer on his daughters Station next to Molesworth over many years and other parts of South Island
He says he always shoots with his scope on full magnification being 9x on most his scopes and maybe a 7x on one
He went form a 3006 to 223 and 243 in later years
Most if not all is open country shooting

What are your thoughts on that ??
