I have to tell you that this depends a whole lot on your eyesight. I don't know how old you are, but your opinion may change as you age, Don.
I shoot pretty good with a high-powered scope, but it takes me a while to aim. Not only are my eyes weak but they don't focus quickly either.
Anyhow I was never so happy at the range as the first time I went target shooting with my 20x Steiner.
I really lucked out when I bought that scope because it was display model and I got it for about 1/2 off.
I'm 71 yrs old and wear glass's. What I've found is that hunting the lower power's work better for me than higher power's. At the high power's when shooting at target's I tend to see to much of my own movement in them. That didn't happen years ago!
