[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2246500, member: 110729"] I wonder if someone could make a comparison between two scopes that have a higher top end magnification — say a 6-24x or a 5-25x.... I would think that wether we have a 44mm, a 50mm, or a 56mm objective [I]does[/I] make a [I]significant[/I] difference in the exit pupil* (at max. magnification). From what I understand a larger [I]exit pupil[/I] usually results in a larger [I]eye box [/I]and a [I]brighter image [/I]in low light (all other things being equal). Matthias *Exit pupil calculation: 44mm : 24x = 1.8mm exit pupil 50mm : 24x = 2.1mm 56mm : 24x = 2.3mm [/QUOTE]
