[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 920420, member: 34084"] If you want good clarity at high magnification, I would recommend the Hawke Sidewinders over any Vortex model in the same price range. The Hawke scopes have better light management that gives a higher contrast image at high magnification. In my experience, the vortex 6-24X scopes start to lose image contrast at about 18X. Some people on this site report problems as low as 14X, so it depends on lighting conditions, your pupil size, etc. Use the search function to learn more. The Hawke 1/2 mildot reticle has a 1/2 mil spacing at 20X. The turret has 1/4 MOA clicks. If you set the magnification to 17X (actually 17.2, to be accurate), the reticle has a 2 MOA spacing. Then you have an MOA/MOA scope for correcting missed shots. [/QUOTE]
