[QUOTE="Big Bad John, post: 773653, member: 43200"] At my age (54), if it doesn't have at least 4 mm of exit pupil diameter at a given magnification, it's too dark for me to use effectively. So, to get that 4mm EPD value, the size of the glass and tube MUST go up in size, adding weight, complexity, and cost. In my case, a 3X9-40 will suffice for most shooting out to 200 yards or so. At longer ranges where you NEED the glass to see the target...belly up to the counter with your money boys! [/QUOTE]
