Re: Scope power at 300 yards...
Depends on the type of shooting your doing. 32x is pretty strong for a field rifle but for BR it's almost not enough. I used to run a 12x42x56 NF on a BR rifle and wouldnt go down any less power.
For field/tactical/hunting rifles, 20-22x is about the max for me as I typically dont dial the power down.

Do you really need someone elses input? dial it in till it looks right and shoot. At 300 yds it shouldn't be that critical.

Re: Scope power at 300 yards...
I like shooting one minute at 10x. Aim small - group small.
At longer ranges I switch to half-minute at 20x.
Sometimes I dabble in-between just for the hell of it.

These 2 rifles have 6-24 Burris Sigs, I usually dont have to crank it up to 24 power, can see very well with 20X at300yds.

Where mine stays for 90% of the shooting I do....I'll use more when working up loads, but seldom use max power when shooting steel or hunting. The field of view with this scope at 15X is really nice. I seldom miss seeing bullet strikes.
