WOW!!!!!!
I've got sooooo much to learn about comp shooting!!!!!!!!
And that's not taking the piss at all its just such a foreign concept to use that much mag at 50m.
Most guys start out using lower powered scopes but move up in magnification. The better you can see the more precisely you can aim. I use a 24x for 200 metre rimfire but could use some more magnification. You also can see the mirage better using high power. This helps you see what the wind is doing.
