It ain't rocket science DJ. But, for those that insist you can't focus anything but the reticle with the eye piece, it will be until they get beyond that belief.
If the euros have some kind of magic ability to increase resolution, why doesn't it show up in lab tests ?
The big advantage of a 56mm, 8X56 would be it's fewer lenses which would allow more of the image to be transmited than would a variable with the same combination of objective size and magnification. Not some mythical property that makes for more image clarity. A variable 56mm would also better than what he's using if it allowed more magnification as well. Puts one closer to the target. Anyone can test this. Simply move closer to the target during low light conditions and observe how much better you can see it. E

Taking a leupold on a night time hunting trip is like taking a knife to a gunfight.

If the euros have some kind of magic ability to increase resolution, why doesn't it show up in lab tests ? It isn't magic it's just in some cases good optical design and of course it does show up in lab tests that test for it.
The big advantage of a 56mm, 8X56 would be it's fewer lenses which would allow more of the image to be transmited than would a variable with the same combination of objective size and magnification. Not necessarily "more of the image" but the fewer lenses the less light lost Not some mythical property that makes for more image clarity. A variable 56mm would also better than what he's using if it allowed more magnification as well. Puts one closer to the target. Anyone can test this. Simply move closer to the target during low light conditions and observe how much better you can see it. True to a point, the point being where the exit pupil gets to small to deliver enough light, the higher the magnification the smaller the exit pupil in a given variable scope E

Actually I think that the newer VXIII Leupy's aren't that bad. I think they are a definate step up from the older models. I've heard that their illuminated reticles have had a few reliability problems so they might not be the way to go but with the increase price separation some of the VXIII's are becoming a lot more tempting to me. No they aren't as good Optically as the high end S&B/Zeiss/Swaro's but for sometimes 1/4! the price they are good enough for a lot of applications....................DJ
