Spinning off from this thread https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/old-guys.893814/ about scope magnification power and age, let's talk about results.
If you take the same rifle and load combination, and mount two scopes of similar quality, but for example one is a 4x and the other is a 25x, what's the quantitative difference in group size?
Does anyone have some real world results from their own shooting to say how much increased magnification helps with their precision?
I feel like it helps to be able to see the target with good definition, and that perhaps 2.5x is a little limiting for me. But between 7x and 9x, I haven't seen an appreciable difference. I'm sure some of you have more experience over a wider magnification range than I do though. So let's hear it.
