A good long range scope makes for a lousy hunting scope. Too heavy, and not enough low magnification options for the quick shot at under 100 yards.

While your argument does have merit and I agree with you for the most part I will say that last year my brothers rifle was being repaired so he asked if he could borrow my target rifle for deer hunting until he got his back. Instead I loaned him my hunting rifle and I used my target rifle for deer hunting and when you have a good scope that will go up to 30x it makes 200yds seem like 20 when you are used to a 3-9x scope also identifying deer was much easier. Also I will add that for a hunting scope I think that 4-4.5x should be the max for the low end of the zoom magnification.
