Initial question, What would you call the appropriate uses for the two magnification ranges. To give a hint of what I'm looking for, in my youth (way too long ago) for hunting Deer, a 1.5 to 4 was considered an excellent magnification range. Deer are large and most of the time, you are hunting at 100 yards or less. Wide field of view to find the quarry, and enough magnification to line up the cross hairs to make the kill.
Bench shooting could demand higher magnifications in those days. I remember stories of hugely expensive scopes for those guys.
So, where would the 6 to 24 be superior to 4 to 14 and other way round? What are your thoughts??
