Re: Fx3 6x42 as a hunting scope?
I had a 6x42 for about ten years, on many rifles (mounted on 260 Rem, 30-06, 300 Win Mag, 338-06, 280 Rem) - very nice optic. I shot grouse and deer inside 20 yards with it, the smaller field of view wasn't a big issue on a stationary target. Very generous eye relief, great low light performance.
