Jakeb:

While high powered scopes are nice, (and I prefer higher powered magnification rather than lower), you can shoot decent groups with 10x at a distance. Remember the further the target is, the more of the target will be covered if the crosshairs are fat, or if they are in the first focal plane.

Personally, I prefer them to be in the 2nd focal plane.
