don't take it out of context. if you require a scope for shots of 25yrds or less, you have bigger issues then lame insults. :rolleyes:

No insult intended - a little touchy are we?

I guess I never go out with the intention of shooting within just 25 - still, my rig handles it quite well.
 
I have hunted the heavy stuff with a Ruger RSI with ironirons, a .58 Hawken, a shortened .303 Brit with w 2.5X scope, a Browning single shot with a 26" barrel with irons , a Snider, Martini, and a H&R single shot in 30/30 with irons, among other things.
I liked them all because I felt comfortable shooting all of them in any condition.
Last week I was in very heavy cover with a 6X and my Ruger no.1, but Siverado
was up on the high slope just in case anything bolted instead of trying to stay still!:D

I voted shotgun with bucksot, but I never used it, so my experience is limited. I'd get something short, with irons or red dot.
the whole thing with a scope to see branches is BS in my opinion. While I have m share of downed trees, I believe that @ 25 yds it will not make a difference.
