MD, allow me to add some specifics.
What sticks in my head is what the bird guy wrote around Y2K--something like "theoretically an 8x32 will show you all there is to see" ...am curious if a 56mm objective resolves detail well enough to be a visual improvement over a 42mm objective of equal quality and power in da daylight at a range of 400ish yards.
Ordinarily I buy the stuff and check it out for myself. I did snag an 8x56 S&B scope with the foil version reticle in case it was a daylight wash. But then chit happens and it's in the right eye, an intermittent blurring-it became apparent shooting paper when a cloud rolled in front of the crosshair on a clear day...one can imagine the joys looming ahead in the "golden years"...
Would appreciate yer thoughts as detail comparisons look to be on hold for a while.
