[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1558865, member: 85987"] To the OP being in the optics field you would have an understanding of resolution. Given the same quality optical system a larger Objective lense will have higher resolution. When you start comparing some of the tier 1 optics the resolving attributes are only optimized with more magnification. Quite important when the military sniper does his primary job which is observe his AO. Being able to see that partially hidden bad guy in a dark shadow or half buried wire is vital to keeping his fellow soldiers sailers or Marines out of an ambush situation. There is a member here that builds rifles and he shot a varmint at I believe 2300 yds with the NSX 3-15X. So obviously you need to be able to shoot as well as you can see. Seeing an animal where you expect to see them is a bit different than seeing something your not supposed to in an area you don't expect to see something [/QUOTE]
