Magnified scopes are for longer ranges.
Long range shooting is what I have a scoped bolt action rifle for.
Curious: what are the other ranges for you?
I can use an AR out to about 350 or 400 yards, and the scoped bolt action out to 600 or 800. I'm no sniper, and I'm not as good at it as I used to be because - old eyes.
It's ok by me, though, because in this terrain you rarely run into shooting that's going to be over 800 yards, and most will be considerably shorter. 400 to 600 yards will be a "long range" shot around here because of the hills, the hollows, and the thick forest.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
