[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 347022, member: 6150"] I agree with folks about having 3-4 max on the low end for zoom. Unless you have a hunting style and location where you rarely shoot less than 200 yards. I would go with a 3-9 or 4-12 Leupold. CDS if you want, but not really needed. My one mountain rifle I shoot out to 400 has a fixed 3-9. I shot a bear that just kinda popped up on me at about 25 yards a couple years ago with my 375 on a 3x zoom and didn't even know where I was aiming. It was like 11:30 PM so very low light. I just found his face in the scope and moved a bit back on the body. The whole lens was just fur. A minimum 6x scope would've been impossible. [/QUOTE]
