I think with what has been goin on in the ukv Forums, stricter rules , may have to be implemented. I think if you are not sure about a member always throw caution to the wind. Can be a costly exercise? Only my thoughts 👍

I can't speak for anyone else nor do I claim what I use is the best wrt mag etc.
What I can say is that for years I shot at 1000 yds with "just" 17x mag and that was plenty. For BR where the rifle is usually very solidly supported on some sort of fixed rest, and FOV is less of an issue, ditto shake, then higher mags (the higher the better) are more usual.
However, I've found that once the weather warms up a little, you can start to have issues with mirage as distances go out and mag goes up, and also you compromise depth of field and field of view. With poorer quality glass you also have less light transmission and a poorer resolution image to start with so winding up the mag makes things often worse instead of helping.
The real key is not just mag' but glass quality. Give me a really good 10x optic and I'd way rather that at 1000yds than a mediocre one with twice the mag.
The other issue if you are using an all round rifle, not just one built for the range, is all up weight and the last thing you want is a 50x monster with a 34mm tube sat on your rail. It's all a compromise.
After 35 years of shooting, I have settled on my own compromise which suits me and addresses all the issues above, with all my rifles shod with weights of extras that I can cope with in the field as well as on the range, which give me good image quality, and importantly, very good mechanical reliability and precision. That matters as much as image quality imho.
My most "rangey" rifle is shod with a S&B PMII 5-25 which still cuts the mustard amongst the latest and greatest and I'd happily use it to 1500yds or more because the glass is up to it as is the mechanical precision and repeatability.
My hunting rifles, also used on the range have respectively a Nightforce NXS and a Bushnell DMR Elite fitted to them. Both with modest upper reach but both easily 1000yd capable and with great clarity. Not in the PMII league but what the Nightforce lacks in transmission it makes up for in clarity plus with both those scopes you could bash a fencepost in with the things and they'd probably still work fine (don't try this on Dad's rifle at home kids....he won;t be pleased and would have to explain "turn of phrase" to you in probably painful terms....).
You're spoiled for choice these days and best to do some in depth research and if possible try out the optics before you spend your hard earned. Good glass can be had relatively modestly with scopes such as the Gen 2 Vortex scopes. Where scopes are concerned I do think it's a case of buy once, cry once. Only a rich man can afford to buy cheap glass...
No true a word spoken 😁
