With 2x7 scope on 2X on a 270, I shot deer between 400 and 500 yards.
With 2x7 scope on 7X on a 270, I shot deer between 400 and 500 yards.
I ranged the animals.
I either used hold over or adjusted the elevation turret.
I was prone with a bipod.
I just aimed at the front 1/3 of the animal.
To kill the deer it did not matter 2X or 7X, but I am told that in states where 3 points or better is required on bucks, lots of scope power is needed to see the eye guard spike.
The nice thing about low power it that the exit pupil is large for shooting in dim light. The best hunting for me is before dawn.

Are we a nation of competing ideas, or a nation of forced conformity of thought?
