Thread: Who loves magnification?

I'm sure scope manufacturers and retailers love higher magnification scopes; more profit for them.

Some of the youngsters I've come across who have a huge, heavy, high magnification Hubble type scope on their lightweight 7mm/08 or .308 ruining the balance and handling of such a rifle. Of course they're going to shoot deer at 600m or more easy as pie because the guy in the shop who sold them the scope told them that's what they have to have to be successful deer hunters.
