I have noticed that even expensive variables from the typical manufacturers all seem to lose resolution on the higher powers in their magnification range. Also, I have noticed that the higher you turn up the magnification, the more critical the eye relief becomes, even changing considerably in most makes.
Meanwhile, the typical fixed power scope, if you can find one, maintains consistently great resolution; and, its eye relief is constant.
I have hunted with both, shot with both (out to 400 yards), and know the limitations of each. But, what is your experience? In reality, what can the typical 3 to 9 variable do that a good fixed 6x scope cannot do, in most hunting circumstances?
