[QUOTE="bill123, post: 2959915, member: 69116"] What does a scope give up in performance in order for it to be made compact? I recently bought a March Compact 2.5-25 x 42. On paper, it seemed like the ideal scope. In reality, the glass is subpar. My $600 Vortex Diamondback has clearer glass off of the same rifle (20 MOA rail). There is a statement in the March manual to the effect that if you zero your scope too far from optical center, the resolution degrades. I understand the phenomenon but have never seen it in any other scope that I have owned. Is this what you give up with a compact scope? [/QUOTE]
