I totally disagree. High magnification slows the shooter down in finding their point of aim when close in, especially in dense vegetation. What is high power? To me it depends on the terrain and vegetation. I have been in thick cover and a good sized Bull Elephant about 10 to 12 meters away. In this instance 3 power would be too high a magnification.

My 375H&H wears a 1-6X42 Zeiss Victory scope. My 416 Rigby has an Aimpoint and a Trijacon 1.25-4X32. Close dense and it is the Aimpoint-I find this faster than open sights, eyes aren't what they use to be- if going out into open areas it is the Trijacon, set at 1.25 power.





I have the habit of looking for the target with low magnification and then turning the magnification as needed after I have sighted it. That is the advantage of scopes with magnification.

Certainly it is different with a scope with fixed magnification, but such scopes are not suitable for hunting large and dangerous game. As I have already written, in situations where it can be dangerous you should approach the game without a scope. At short distances, a scope with too much magnification can certainly be a problem, possibly even fatal.
