I know I can not see as well as I use too, I'm 48. I started out hunting (years ago) with a 4X weaver and thought I could see for miles. Then moved to 3X9's and thought, what else would you want. Now it seems I have a leaning to the 6x 24/25 scopes. In fairness to the discussion, I am shooting at longer distances and its nice to zoom into the 200 and 300 targets and good to see clearer at the 600 plus targets.

Hunting in South Texas I can really zoom in and pick my spots at 300 and 400 yards at the 24/25 power. Most of the guns with the higher powered scopes are on guns you wouldn't want to carry all day. My pack arounds' still sport 3X9 or 4X12/16 scopes. Do I really need the 6X24/25 scopes for long distance, I guess I have thought I needed them since I bought them, but what have I gained? What have I lost?

Am I just bored?
