Good question. Just because I don’t have one currently. Just wanted to maximize field of view and light gathering ability.

A 30mm tube in and of itself won't help you there.

Beat me to it. Tube diameter has nothing to do with light gathering ability or FOV. Compare specs on a few scopes with similar power ranges and objective sizes if you need data to convince yourself.

What you’re looking for is a large objective, not a large tube (per se).
While it doesn’t guarantee a larger field of view, this is dependent on internal design, the larger tube does offer the potential for a larger field of view.

Field of view, in degrees, is equal to the field stop divided by focal length multiplied by 57.3.
And since the larger tube provides the capability of a larger field stop, the opportunity to design it with a larger field of view is there.

Touché. I’m no engineer.

Seems it rarely works out to make any practical difference, though. The difference in FOV between otherwise similar scopes w/ 1” vs 30 mm tubes usually amounts to about 1-2 tenths of a degree in viewing angle, i.e, less than peanuts.

Yeah. It’s no guarantee. And scope manufacturers rarely include internal specs. So you are relying on their advertised field of view being accurate/honest. Unless you can compare side by side.

But if designed correctly, it could be a little over 15% wider at the same magnification.

Rickety/Bradgelina,

Perhaps you two Brokedick Kchunts can combine "powers" and dangle a picture between your trembling fingers and quivering lips,that actually exists?!? My other CTR looks like this. Hint.

Fortunately for you Fhuqktards,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even you Brokedick Crying Kchunts can "afford" to "contribute". Hint.

.... so I can mount a big honkin scope nice and low.

Careful on the Meopta Optikas. I did have a Optika6 that I liked, but many of their reticles are very faint, and thus not good for hunting in my opinion. Good for punching paper as long as your target is light colored.

For your stated use a 3-9x40 plex should be more than sufficient. Also google point blank range. If you want to get fancy, look at the Swarovski Z3, Trijicon Accupoint, or Nightforce SHV 3-10.

I don’t even see one Savage Model 10 243 with ProStaff 5 2.5-10x40 in that whole pile.

The Arken SH4 has equal internals as the Athlon Helos, has a lit reticle, a better zero stop, is FFP and HD glass which the Athlon doesn't, for $150 less.

You can keep sucking hind tit if you wish or you can shoot them all the choice is yours. Arken SH4 simply beats the Athlon in every way and is less dollars and that is a fact you have yet to experience. Within the year you will be bragging to high heaven pretending it was your very own discovery once again!

Trystain,

I enjoy your GoogleFu,but it pales to Reality. Hint.

[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]

The Arken is 34mm tube and 10 ounces heavier. Turrets don't lock and are only 8 Mil's per revolution. Their zero stop is lesser to boot. Athlon illumination,is superior. Hint.

Pardon my simply shooting it all,as you Pretend aloud,with your Brokedicktitude on full display. Hint.

I "only" have 100's and 100's of scopes and it's nice if only for a change,to drive wares which work. Hint.





I reckon I should update that very recent picture,given the magnitude of the spending spree. Hint.

I'd suggest taking a look at the Meopta Optika5 3-15X44. A 1-inch tube SFP scope that will serve your needs just fine. Set it and forget it.
