As far as exit pupil I have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that exit pupil has very little to do with real world performance. One of our .com friends posted it best. He said a brightly resolved blob is still a blob.
I will again post my comparisons in a differnt thread for the newer folks.
Ringman sorry but you are a dumba$$. If you are going to use a quote you really should get it right. The quote was "A brightly lit unresolved blob is still an unresolved blob".
And I'm the one who originally said it. It doesn't matter what the light transmission figures of the glass coatings your scope are if you don't have a large enough exit pupil to get enough light to your eye. It doesn't matter how high the resolution of your optics are if you can't get enough light through them. Exit Pupil is a critical factor in a hunting scopes performance......................dj
