[QUOTE="Brent, post: 18027, member: 99"] #2 is all whacked out, no way it's correct. I wish I had an 18' FOV!! Not even at 5.5x do I have that. The FOV will get smaller at higher magnification. The image in both scopes will be magnified the same amount if on the same power, say 24x. The larger FOV will just let you see more to the sides, above and below, just like lower power does, gives you more FOV, BUT it sacrifices magnification to do it. Good scopes usually have a good wide FOV, say 4' on a low end scope verses 5-6' wide FOV on a higher end scope, at 24x of course. What are the scopes are you looking at? [/QUOTE]
