I like 4X16 for general use. When shooting prairie dogs, or targets I like the 6X24. I prefer 1/4 inch clicks and target turrets. I don't like the 1/8 clicks as well for long distance because you only get 7.5 inches elevation per revolution of the turrets. Sometimes that takes four full turns even with a 300 magnum. It always leaves the chances of you loosing track of how many revolutions you have made. Often I will use a white paint line to keep track of zero.
