Whilst the ever popular stalking scopes ( fixed 6 to 8 mag scopes ) might be perfect for deer shooting and general foxing. There are far better scopes on the market, if small vermin such as crows + magpies are on the menu at 300 yrds.
Yes it can be done, and no doubt the some on here will tell you they do it successfully - but why make it any more difficult than it needs to be?
Bushnell do some decent glass - the Legend 4-14 is a belter for little money - Also the 4200 and 6500 range offer good optics at value. I have used an MTC scope and it suffered horribly from white out - and it was looking down a bog roll. Fortunately it wasn't mine. Maybe some MTC models are better than others ?
Personally, I would go for a used Zeiss conquest either the 4-14 or 5 -20 x 50 model - yes more expensive but a better scope.

Have a look at Meopta cracking scopes and not a fortune I've just bought one and superb. Why anyone wants a 6x or a 4x I have no idea ,I don't buy anything under 12x and feel for most types of shooting a bit of zoom helps in various situations wether it be to identify at night or to see target hits etc.

i bought a rifle off Alan earlier this year & being the top guy he is before i parted with the cash he took me out with it for a trial!
on top was a very nice zeiss! it absolutely blew me away!!! it was the first time i ever looked through one! my mate who came with me has a really nice nightforce & even he said that the optics seemed superior to that!
we went to a gamefair the following day & there was a zeiss stand there we had a good look at them & then proceeded to go round & look at other makes.. they made everything else like looking through a bog window!!
at low light they are just unbelievable!!
i am totally converted!

I have this week and for the first time, used my .223 fitted with a Leupold 6x42 on the range at 200yds and everything was fine. I also intend using it for roe, fox and ground vermin and am sure the scope is up to the job. It has a lovely clear glass and the results kept me happy.
