I just purchased a new rifle for longer range shooting and looking for a scope. Ive already landed on brand and type, but Im wondering what the seasoned "elk hunters" would recommend, as far as, magnification. I've been leaning towards the 6-24X50mm, but wondered if its 6X is just too magnified if you got into elk in the close quarters in the timber. I have friends you have hunted elk in the mountains at longer ranges 300yds. plus and vouch for a scope that is built for those longer shots.
Im looking for those with actual experience please. Thanks!
PS - This rifle and scope setup will also be used for other types of western hunting such as black bear, mule deer, moose, etc.(wanting a good "all around" setup)
