10x should be plenty for anything inside 600-800 meters depending on the target. Variable scopes have more lenses, which equals degraded light transmission and makes shooting in low light much harder. I'm still hunting or shooting 30-60 minutes after customers and friends with variables have had to quit. Quality glass helps a lot too, but Konus uses Nikon glass so I'm set there too. Konus also use etched reticules in all of their centerfire scopes, which is a pricey/high end option on Leupold, Nikon, etc.
I am still working to even approach the capabilities of that rifle. .5MOA is the goal. I know the rifle can more than do it...jusy gotta embiggen my own chops.
