20x or above is high. I used to think it is good thing to have. I tried that and I became skeptical. I almost always go back to below 15x or even 10x. Lately I started using fixed 4x and 10x. I simply fell in love with fixed power scopes.
That begs the question. Why do people pay extra for 24x or even much higher? Long range? Sure. But they shoot at pretty large steel plates. Either ding or no ding; no rings to score on. Even at 1000yd, 10x scope brings the target to 100yd we equivalent. One should see it.
There must be a reason for higher power. Silhouette shooting is one I can think of. But what else? People who run huge high power scopes on their rifles hardly do silhouette.
