Re: Vortex DIAMONDBACK® TACTICAL 6-24X50 FFP
I have used and currently own several scopes with 6,5-20x and 6-24x magnification ranges. My hunting rifles still carry 3-9x scopes with normal plex recticles, since they are far more useful under normal hunting conditions.
Whenever I see someone struggling with a rifle on the range or in the field, I check the magnification setting first. Usually the scope is dialed too high and the user can't see or hit anything, especially with some pressure added.
So yes, the magnification on that scope can indeed become a problem. Use it for long range games once you have advanced to that level. In the meantime a normal scope with moderate magnification will serve you well.

Re: Vortex DIAMONDBACK TACTICAL 6-24X50 FFP
This effect will be a hindrance while hunting. I have this Scope . A Diamondback tactical 6-24x50. It’s a target scope, which I use on my PRS rimfire rifle. The cross hair is so fine that at 6x you will not easily see it against a bush background.
Rather get a good SFP scope in 3-9x 40, or so , for hunting. It will be more than enough and save the Diamondback for target shooting
