[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 198271, member: 8"] A couple of things. Did they have sunshades on? The magnification is not the same on each picture which affects things. Observations about the pictures. 1. you can see a "ring" that is about one forth diameter around the outside edge of the Luepolds. This same ring on the Burris is nearly third diameter. 2. The Burris is "bright" however this is glare and why you should use a sunshade when hunting. You will notice that the brightness washes out detail from the upper right to the lower left at the same angle as the roof shadow on the shed. 3. If you look at color transmission you will notice some green shrubbery along the base of the building. The green is much greener in the V3s and not so green in the Burris and the Burris has no blue at all. If you look at red transmission the top Lueppy and Burris look the same to me and the bottom Lueppy looks to be doing a good job of transmitting red but I suspect it is the only one with a sunshade on and that it is the glare that is killing the color. 4. If you look at the detail of blades of grass and the twigs back behind the shed then the top Lueppy is far superior but then perhaps it was just better focused. But your pictures simply say what I always say. A V3 is a fine scope for shooting antelope far past 1K. If a deer or antelope was standing or laying under the tree in the background there would be no problem in putting the cross hairs on it. A very fine scope out to perhaps 1400-1500 yards and maybe further. A really great post and a lot of work but well worth it in the terms of information transferred. [/QUOTE]
