[QUOTE="tulku, post: 771259, member: 5203"] Over the years I've talked to a few Lens Designers or should I say Computer Lens Designers and Suppliers . I was told that as you go to a wider Range of Magnification and as you go to bigger and bigger Optics , one BIG downside is Cost . If you want to get the finest Resolution and minimize all the bad Optics problems / Aberrations , and maintain all the good stuff like accurate Clicks , etc . ...... the Cost goes up drastically . I don't recall exactly , but say you want to produce a top Quality 56mm Lens vs. a 28mm Lens , the Cost is not double , but goes up as the 3rd or 4th Power ..... in other words , it will Cost you a bundle ! So if you have deep pockets ....no problem . The broad Magnification Range Scopes are great for Yote Hunters or for those Big Game Hunters who also want to hunt Varmints ..... although the Retcle choice that works for both would be a real compromise .
