John,
Something just looks wrong to me with less than 30 feet on the low end. Once I went on a jackrabbit hunt and shot a bunch out to over 225 and then noticed that I had left the power at 3x. It had about 38'. More fov is even better. The 3x was plenty on thebrabbits. I would use a 4x if it still had 30' of view. Will stay with the 3x9 Ultralight.
