[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 862138, member: 34084"] Crusty, Following this thread, I have a few more comments. My statement about NF scopes having triplet objectives was about the NXS and Competition scopes. I think the Benchrest models have doublet objectives. If so, your Leupold scope will have similar performance, especially for large elevation/windage adjustments. In fact, under turbulent conditions the Leupold may be a hair better because the objective is smaller. A smaller objective collects less "turbulence" and tends to produce a higher resolution image. The difference between 50 and 56 mm is small enough that the difference in resolution would be difficult to notice. What model NF scopes are your friends using? I think the guidance you got from NF about theIr scope seeing bullet holes is misleading sales talk. Obviously, higher magnification will produce a larger image. Under conditions of low turbulence, you will see more detail. However, under normal daytime conditions, I think you'll just get a larger blurry image with no more detail. Unless you have vision problems, I would recommend no more then 32X if you shoot under mostly turbulent conditions. [/QUOTE]
