[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 920664, member: 34084"] The Hawke website says that the 6-24X56 has 62 MOA (+/- 31 MOA ) of internal adjustment, which is about par for a moat 30 mm scopes. In fact, these scopes actually have a much larger adjustment range, at least 70 MOA, as I recall. IMHO, any adjustment range beyond about 65 MOA is wasted. The image starts so loose resolution starting at about +/-25 MOA of adjustment. At +/-35 MOA the loss of resolution is usually pretty noticeable. This is a consequence of using a doublet objective lens. It happens with all scopes that use this objective lens design. To get a better lens design, you need to move into the $1,500+ price range. Nightforce NXS and Swarovaki Z5/X6 scopes have an air-spaced triplet a objective lens design that has much better image resolution at high internal adjustment. Companies that advertise really large adjustment ranges in a 30 mm tube for a scope below the $1,000 price point are usually hiding something about how the scope performs at large adjustment ranges. Either the resolution is degraded, the field of view is obscured at low magnification, or the field of view is small. [/QUOTE]
