[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1437870, member: 70559"] [B]Everyone[/B] who has come to my porch and compared scopes and binoculars looking at the deer antlers 131 yards away has observed the very same thing. Turn up the magnification and your optic lasts longer. When a friend of mine brought two of his Swarovskis to compare with my Bushnell 6500 he also discovered the same thing. He was a little late so the sun was already behind the western hills. The way I determine if I can continue with a particular optic is can I see the first long tine on the left enough to shoot the deer carrying them. Consequently we had to raise the magnification on his z6 5-30X50 until he could see the antlers clearly. It required 15X at 7:05PM. Then I adjusted the other two to the same magnification setting of 15X. The z6 lasted until 7:13PM. The Bushnell went down at 7:24PM. That is eleven minutes longer for something costing about 1/3. When it came to the other Swarovski it was like a college player against a professional. The z8i was that much better. Bright and clear. Light right to the edge with almost no ring. The fantastic Swarovski z81 lasted until 7:44PM[B]![/B] Twenty minutes longer than a very good scope. We both agreed on the time for all three scopes. I have pages of info like this with different guys participating. If you want me to post about some of the binoculars I will. Beyond a shadow of a doubt those who have used the optic chart and the deer antlers have discovered exit pupil might be a sales tool, but it can’t be used in real life as criteria that one is better than another.
