It also changes what scope a guy needs for various applications. Just trying to point out that what a 4X scope does well for you would most likely be useless for me. For example, my ten year old son has a 22RF with a 4X scope. Yesterday we were shooting rotten chicken eggs at 50 yards using his rifle. Really pi$$ed me off just how tiny those eggs looked at that distance. It was a bad idea anyway, our Jack Russell decided to roll in the mess before coming inside last night!
100% right . 45 years ago I thought a 4X was magnificent , now I need way more power for precision shots and if the light fails only a small amount it's even harder .

I'll be 63 on July 4. I have Weaver, Lyman, Leupold, Redfield and some German scope all 4x. I have Unertl, Leupold, Lyman, and Weaver all 6x scopes. Leupold is the brightest with Redfield a close second. My eyes are not 20/20 but close. Can't eat those 400,500,600 silohuettes but I sure can see them out there. First time out cleaned 35 out of 37 with two different rifles not with 4x scopes.

You are very very lucky . My eyes are killing me . I have so much trouble now seeing a micrometre or any fine work without direct sun light on it .
I wear tri focal glasses to do any machining work or read anything now.
Without glasses at long range my eyes are good but close up it's a blurr .
The old 1000 yard stare !!

Used a 4x40 for years on rifles with no problems. These days I have variables but most of teh time they stay at 7x on my 3 x 9x36 and 8x on the bigger scopes.

Luepold are decent scopes, but look through a Ziess just before dark and there is no way back. I run 2 Ziess DiaVari C 3 x 9 x 36 on 22LR and 17AH, perfect scopes for 200 yards or less.
