Re: Thinking about buying a new deer rifle.

Beiruty and TAM - what power do you use when shooting a 100 yards?
Not Beiruty or TAM, but my deer rifles have 3x9x50 Nikon Prostaff scopes. This scope has worked well in low light and the max magnification is great for estimating width and size of rack. Otherwise the lower magnification allows wider view in case a larger animal comes into view just before a shot. Can't see needing anything "better" for 200yds and under.
