[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2248081, member: 95013"] Great optic from a great company. Having gone hands on with one, I can share that up to about 26 power it is outstanding. Once you get above that power it begins to lose some clarity and ability - it is very hard for any manufacturer to cheat Rayleighs constant which says the human eye and scope can only process so much clarity given the surface area. The human eye can only resolve 1 MOA at 100 yards. It is the limit of clarity. So to find the highest magnification possible for any scope you divide 114.3 by the highest power that the optic is usable. Example using an 80mm spotting scope - optimal mag is 42x: 114.3/80 = 1.43 min seconds. Then 60 seconds (1 MOA) / 1.43 = 42x So if we take a 50mm objective and apply the same calculation we get = 26.2 power [/QUOTE]
