I think you will find this is true with most rifle scopes. I hunt a lot and almost all my rifle scopes are 2.5-8 or 2.5-10 of some variation. They are almost always set on the lowest setting and if something shows at 350 yards I can crank it it. Out to 100-150 yards the 2.5 setting is almost always what I use.
During low light conditions I occasionally find it useful to use an intermediate setting. I have found some the the really high magnification scopes like 20-25X unusable on really hot days with lots of mirage and you have to dial it down to 10-16X to be able to see the target.
