Re: Big bores sights, open, scopes or other?

I take if from your post you are saying that high magnification is good even in close up situations. I am say this is not the case. Yes they can be an advantage when the range is not close. Not sure how I can take anything else from your post??
You took it wrong. I'm not even sure how you got that from my post which specifically referenced the use of John's list of calibers "up close".
Again, what I posted above is:
"I think use trumps size.
My .375 (& 9.3x62) wear 3.5-10 scopes.
But all of what you cite might best be set up with irons depending on use up close, fast, etc."
I was referencing this "I'd add here to that high magnification in a variable provides insurance against striking intervening vegetation that might not be seen with irons or with a low power scope."
Your post about use trumps size I tend to agree with.
I have been in quite a few hunting situations where 3 power is to much as I have been to close to the game to get a wide enough view of the animal to be able to pick the vital area without searching with the scope. With a 1 power or Red Dot I use both eyes open, something I struggle to do with a scope with magnification. Those who can use both eyes when using magnification probably do not have this problem.
