I like the idea of a fixed power scope, but have always had reservations about single-power at extended ranges for sight-in purposes and also shooting the small targets.  I have seen videos of the scope on larger targets such as steel, but not at targets like one would use to sight in etc. I tried a search and came  up empty.

Essentially shooting at 300 yards with a 6x scope is about the same as shooting at 50 yards with a non magnifying optic.as 300 divided by 6 equals 50.

You will have to decide if you can hit a 50 yard target and sight in with no Magnification as only you know the size of target you are talking about and know your eyesight.

If you have variable scopes just take one and set it on 6x and experiment with target acquisition and see what you feel comfortable with.

Keep in mind that a scope is not a binocular and just because a higher power will enable one to see a target in a larger image does not mean you can shoot more accurately on that target.

Hope this helps you
