View- Pick your gun up out of the vice to check your field of vision through the scope. You ought to quickly be able to see the full field of view without moving your head much. You might need to move in or out a bit, but not a lot. If your field of view isn't great, slide the range back or forward till it is.

Since this experience I make sure I have my magnification set low just in case and am prepared to adjust up if the animal is further away. If the animal is further away I have plenty of time to adjust my rifle scope without being seen, this is not the case if the animal is right on top of me. The closer the animal the lower the magnification, a good rule to use when hunting with a rifle.
