[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2200939, member: 95344"] I haven't used 32X in a rifle scope, but have close to that in my spotting scope. For me out here in the West that high of magnification doesn't work well for hunting situations. I even had trouble locating a chuck at 583 yards with my fixed 10X due to some rocks and terrain looking the same. FOV, color, and clarity trumps magnification with my eyes. I don't have alpha glass but even in mid range scopes like Leupold Mk4's imo this holds true with me. It's faster for me to locate game/ targets through movement on lower mag, then adjust up to shoot. Even on my fixed 10X I can see chucks moving around at greater than a mile. I won't see their eyeballs though lol. [/QUOTE]
