What's up folks,
Was curious to get some opinions as to whether a 2.5x10 power scope is sufficient for western hunting. I will mount this on my new .270 and want something versatile for hunting elk in the timber, and deer in the open valley. I know there is no "one-size fits all" choice but was curious if a scope of this power will allow me to hunt successfully in the above-listed conditions. I think the furthest shot I would be taking is 400 yards due to ballistics. I'm contemplating this option and a 4x12 option... I know each offers a unique set of pros and cons.... interested in hearing your thoughts.
