[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 77860, member: 428"] I've got a 4-24x. My experience with optics, particularly this scope, is limited. I could read a book at 300 yards with it. However, I wonder if it's worth the limited FOV with the 24x. For example, you're glassing a herd of deer at 500-800 yds. If I've got TMOA reticle and using hash marks to range distance, I have to have that scope cranked all the way up. At 18x, I have a much wider FOV than with 24x. I can see a lot more at a lower magnification and still use the reticle hashes to gauge distance. It sucks to see a guy squeezing off on a deer and not see the doe being chased into the line of fire by a rutting doe. (I've seen it happen but again, my scenario is based on hypothesis and I haven't regretted the 24x.) it's been awhile since I've shot a deer with more than 4x, so I might be the wrong guy to ask. Likes: 1. Clarity 2. Build Quality 3. Lightweight!! 4. Capped turrets 5. Size 6. Ergonomics Dislikes: 1. I dunno, I guess reticle could be finer, but not bad. 2. Sometimes wish it was front focal plane [/QUOTE]
