Re: .338 and 50x scope in action
theHunter Classic has a lot of wrong ideas about real life hunting ...its about 20%-30% sim at best and the rest is just a fun arcade game. But if it was all sim then 90% or more of its players would just quit because of the insane level of difficulty and the extreme boredom they would find...it would have never survived as a real true hunting sim.

Yeah. I understand that stalking a specific "trophy animal" is probably not what most hunters in real life do - sitting in stands for hours, glassing and hoping for anything to show up, is probably more realistic, right? Fun if you're in real nature, not too good for a video game I guess.

Re: .338 and 50x scope in action
Changed the name to 8-16x50. yeah I know that the correct name. But for me I can't be bothered writing the whole name when talking to others on the chat so we just use the term 50x scope and its just slang and is easier to type and such. Just didn't think of it when doing the title. cheers

It´s just for sniping/spotting in most cases the 1-4x is best.
