[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 683793, member: 12443"] eastern hunters/shooters face more issues than do western hunters/shooters due to air clarity caused by humidity. we could argue for a month over which scope is best. fact is the most expensive scopes wont perform well on (HIGHER) power either when the humidity factor is high. the only answer is to lower the power in order to obtain a clearer image regardless of scope or objective size. air quality will make spotting hits at very long distances even more difficult. in some places like pa for example, counting points on antlers is a requirment. that adds even another issue to the dilemma. good eyepieces and not necessarily the most expensive scope can be very helpfull. unfortunitly many scope manufacturers today only offer zoom eyepieces. certainly some will challenge me. i would ask if theyve ever done a side by side test under poor conditions with numerous scopes and eyepieces at the same time. we have, and the answer is none work well especially on higher powers with high humidity. you will hear some say they can see bullet holes in a target at 1000 yds with their scope. i will say yes you can in the white part not the black part and only on some days. and on those days others with different scopes did also didnt they?
