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.
I believe the 36x is what today's benchrest shooters use. There was a myth awhile back that 36x was too powerful, so some bench shooters used 24x, but 36x was optimum. I'd like to try out one of these.
