Thanks for the replies, not sure what I will do next. Depends what pops up used I guess. Might put my 5-20 on the .223 until I find a better solution.
thanks haeffnkr
Very interesting point. I never thought a fixed power scope has wider field of view.
@eric1115 What mag power do you watch 7 mag braked impacts?
thanks haeffnkr
I did a small search search for Mag to Yards... found a couple of things, one was 1x power for every 100 yards. seems crazy to me. But I am trying to learn. Where can I find out more about Accuracy vs Precision?
thanks again

@nobody
A Rokslide special of course, Tikka T3x .223 :)
I have my 5-20 on a 280AI 14 pound file with a FB muzzle break. I can not spot shots and keep my head aligned in the scope to watch impact on the 280AI Thus wanting to try something with less recoil and watch shots.
@nobody I have heard 6x maybe 10X is best for hunting but I dont understand why. I do a lot of hunting from fixed stands, good rests, 200 to 400 yard shots. I like to get as much zoom as possible to get as accurate as possible. On the other side I hear guys using 10x for 1000 yards steel...
Hi
I have a 5-20x50 SWFA scope.
Is the magnification in that scope similar/same as the fix power scopes?
I am trying to decide which fixed power scope I should get and was hoping to use my variable scope to test if the 12x or 16X will be best for my shots at deer between 200 and 400.
thanks...
Range is I ever thought about... most of my shots are less than 450... but even between 300 and 450 my bullets drop fast. This year I had 2 misses because my old Bushnell wouldn't range the deer and I guessed a bit short and went low on 2.
