Eremicus,
Like I posted before, when I compared my Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 with my Nightforce 12-42X56 looking at leaves and twigs on trees about 200 yards away I could not tell any difference. But when I made the line chart with 1/4" lines and spaces there was a major difference. At over 500 yards the Bushnell needed 15 1/2X setting while the Nightforce didn't need to come off of 12X to see the lines and spaces. If just I turned the Bushnell down to 15X I saw a grey rectangle.
What I am saying if you didn't use some kind of eye chart or line chart comparing optics at animals, brush, twigs or leaves leave a lot of information behind. What did you use for your comparisons?
