[QUOTE="1894, post: 19244, member: 1958"] More important that size (as I tell my wife... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ) is quality of optic and reticle design. Thusly I would bet my proverbial that my Swaro 6x42 with no4 reticle will have a better 'real life' twilight performance than cheaper 50mm with duplex reticles. I shoot a lot of deer a year, all with a 6x42. I reckon I could pick up maybe an extra 5 fallow if I went to an illuminated 8x56 S&B but the extra time spent in the high seat together with the extra weight and extra hassle of finding a deer in the pitch black (even with my dog) means I haven't and likely never will go down this route.
