The 3X I have seems perfect for what I want it for. Being that it's 7.62x39, I'm not really looking to shoot much over 100 yards. Of course I can't boast I have the best eyesight, and It's mainly close up I need glasses for, I am amazed how detailed I can see even past 100 yards with that small PA scope.Cool, I'll check it out. It might change my mind on the lower power that I'm thinking about.
