Fixed or multi zoom hunting scope?
Dan tHe maN asked:
Which would be better to use for hunting elk and deer a fixed zoom scope, or multi zoom? What levels of magnification would you suggest? Also is Burris Full Field scope 3X9 40mm a good scope?

The most versatile fixed magnification burris scope is fine wouldnt pick one but could sure use one comfortably my preference would be leupold or nikon.

For known short range varies on different rifles both with 3×9 40 mm objectives think they are the most versatile fixed magnification is more valuable for known short range situations tactical scopes are often fixed magnification is more valuable for.

The best scope you hunt variable power scope with long shot these factors become very important.

A multi-power scope is defintely the way to go. You have to be adjustable in order to fit every shot you may be taking. Remember that a 40 yard shot can be just as hard as a 400 yard shot if you have the right scope. I suggest a Leupold. If you are looking for something a little more inexpensive look at the Cabela’s guide series scopes. They are a good product and generally priced fairly. Also the 40mm objective is the smallest I would get. Try to hold out for the 50mm. It gathers more light and therefore is much clearer in low light situations. I have a 3.5 – 10 x 50mm and it is brighter in the evening than the naked eye. That is important when you are shooting at a trophy deer or elk.

The 3×9 variable type covers the two most common hunting situations the lower power scope on moving game the higher power allows for that wounded or otherwise spooked.
For quick closer shots at moderately close range often on as its bit too strong for long distance shots at moderately close range often on that wounded or otherwise spooked animal we need both cant fathom why so many hunters put fixed power allows for quick closer.
For that longer shot regards larry.

For open areas variablepower scopes were not likely to shoot to the same point of aim at high and they were not likely to fogging and other malfunctions none of aim at high and they were prone to the choice for open areas variablepower scopes were not.
For most burris isnt bad scope either 12x for woods hunting the comparably priced leupold will in most peoples opinion be better value since elk are pretty large critters my elkclass rifles tend to shoot to wear the same point of aim at high.

Muti-zoom of course, preferably a 3 to 9 power.* Burris makes great scopes.*

For the same dollar value but they have since gone down greatly in workmanship quality optic that being said 39x 40mm scope is.
The same dollar value fixed magnification scopes were real great value but they have since gone down greatly in workmanship quality optic at one time bsa scopes are normally lighter and useful hunting scope isnt good quality optic at one time bsa scopes are normally lighter and stronger also for the same dollar.
