[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1133279, member: 35183"] Remember that with age, the maximum pupil dilation typically decreases. So if you have a low mag scope that has a big bright exit pupil, us older folks may not be able to tell the difference since our own pupil may not open wide enough to let in all the light that the scope is capable of providing. High mag scopes tend not to have a very large exit pupil in the first place so differences in quality will be most noticeable at the high magnification end. So if you are older, beware of judging things at 3x. 10 or 12 will tend to tell the story. What that suggests is that one can reach an age where there is no benefit to be had from higher quality optics unless one is using the higher magnification part of the scale. [/QUOTE]
