I have 3 of these scopes. One is an old Leupold M8 24x fixed, another is a Weaver 24T (fixed 24x) and a Weaver 36T (fixed 36x).
Never had a problem with them hunting fields. But last season we were hunting on RR Tracks. With the Rails and stone I couldn't see past 100 yards.
I ended up using a varible on about 6x.
But I'm partial to fixed power copes.
