[QUOTE="4th_point, post: 2962507, member: 13585"] I am not an optical engineer or technician, but as I understand it you obviously need to manipulate light inside any optical device and the shorter the device the more severe the angle and possibly the number of lenses. That makes for a more complicated scope to design, and assemble correctly. I have a few scopes that are pretty close to bottomed out for elevation, so I can shoot far. At 100 yards, white targets can appear purple with one of the short designs. However, I don't shoot it much at 100 and when I dial for longer range it looks fine. [/QUOTE]
