For those of you smarter than me. Is a 32X at 16X easier to focus correctly than a 16X scope?
I can't speak to the physics, just what I have observed using the scope in my signature and an Athlon Argos BTR GEN1 8-34x56 FFP. (smile)I was just curious about the physics of larger scope compared to smaller scopes
Hello Skip-in-WV,I was just curious about the physics of larger scope compared to smaller scopes
Although I do not recommend it for a variety of reasons, the scope in my signature actually does well at the max zoom of 27x. The main reason why I *ever* lower the zoom is because of lighting conditions and occasionally because the shot is SO close! Lowering the zoom in low light conditions allows me to actually SEE the target and for those really close shots, lowering the zoom lets me acquire the target quickly even if it isn't in focus (9 yards or less).No ,you do not buy a 32x scope to focus down to 16x, why have that excess weight and length?
You want 16x get a 16x fixed power scope,it would be a lot better,But hard to find.
Nay,If 16x is want you really want,also scope to be variable with parallaxe get something closer to that range.
I would also call the scope manufacturers and ask them that question and please let us know what they say.
I know the Nikon I have is better at a lower power than at higher power.Yes the quality of glass and the precision the scope has is a deciding factor.
High power variable cheap scopes are usually bad at the higher powers....
