A subject that I have expounded on for years, The 20 MM objective will not be knocked off zero as very little protrudes from the front ring and on a DGR, you really don't want, need, more that 3X max...

How often I see "hunters" show up in africa with a 458 Lott and a 4x12 or bigger on it, and invaribly it is out of zero almost daily, or the recoil and rough treatment that goes with Safari life trashes it and they end up using our iron sighted camp gun, and go home elated at how well they shot the irons

...

Next time you go to the range with a big objective scope, sight it in then wack it hard on that big objective and shoot another group....bingo,your knowledge just soared.

All my guns have 3X Leupolds, 1x4 Leupolds, and 1.5x5 Leupolds except one .338 Win and one 300 H&H, they have 2x7 Leupolds....

Bottom line is that for dangerous game, I'll even suggest big game in general, there will never be an instance wherein 3X or 4X will not work for you other than in your mind..

For most big dangerous animals you have a 3 ft. bullseye , besides all you need to do is put the X on the animal and pull the trigger, you don't need to count the ticks on him...I can shoot a deer at 400 yards or further with a 2X scope as well as with a 12X, probably better, I don't have to contend with heat waves and 12 times more wiggle!
