Yes, the 80's and 70's were chock full of combat deployments, and not at all plagued by horrible drug problems throughout the services. From the article I read about you, you are 60? So, earliest you could have gone in was what? 1975? Yeah, you and Smedley Butler must have been drinking buddies...

Let's assume that I wasn't also in the Marine Corps, and that I didn't also deploy to hot humid environs in the early 90's Now what does that have to do with folks in the continental United States...say in OK? Whole lotta stupidly humid days at 123 degrees? Coasts really close?

I'm sure the US Army, NSW, and the USMC will all be surprised to learn that 10x and above is worthless in 120-degree heat. It's a miracle their snipers and the Canadians and Brits have been smoking dudes with high magnification in the desert for almost 20 years. I'll point out that every...

It was in the 90's. Elevation was 1100 ft, humidity was in the 40's. Mirage was not an issue. It was present. Pic through 20x spotting scope.

Everyone at the last sniper school I went to spent the majority of their time at 18x to 25x (for HR shots, I used 25x at 335 yds). The Marine Corps is currently issuing a Nightforce 5-25x scope. They used 10x fixed Unertl scopes for a very long time, because doctrinally, the rule of thumb was 1x...

Ah, I got it now. It's boorish to state that there are, in fact, times when you might want magnification, in fairly common situations. Situations which thousands of people encounter often. I guess it would be less-boorish to say something like, "That is a far cry from being comfortable with...

You keep making sweeping generalizations. As you said, the problem with saying stuff on an open forum is that you don't know who you are talking to. I'm well aware of Pat's meaning behind what he said. I actually knew him fairly well. Well enough to know that referring to him as "Mr. Rogers"...

I've been on multiple perimeters where I have been between 100 and 200 yards away. On situations where I absolutely needed to both identify who the person coming outside was, and whether or not the item in his hand was a gun. That has occurred at all hours of the day (and night). As far as...

Since when is "need" subject to someone else's judgement? I've hit 1000 yds with irons before. Which is just fine, if that's your thing (simply "hitting," or aiming at a target which you are 100% familiar with - ie a given paper or steel target). That is a far cry from being comfortable with...

I'll fix it back. For PID, I'll take some magnification.

If eyebox is important to you, the Vortex Razor HD II 1-6 has the most forgiving one I have found. For 300 yds and in, 1-6 is more than adequate. I'd suggest waiting until after SHOT, if you are looking at 1-8 or 1-10. There are some rumored optics coming out then that may be of interest.
