Am I the loner here? I am not a hunter, just paper puncher. I started with a 3-9x then a few 6-18x's and now have 8-32x's. That would be on rifles that are a .308, .223, and a 22-250. I love HIGH MAGNIFICATION! My uncle has the fixed Leupold 45x. Do I need it, probably not, but I guess I really like to see what I am shooting at. Now a 32, 36, or 45x for hunting is not very practical, but being able to read fine print at 200-300 yards is awesome!
