[QUOTE="jmeier1981, post: 2551289, member: 10009"] Anybody know what 24x or more scopes have the biggest FOV? Ive been checking out an Arken SH4 Gen 2 6-24×50 along side an Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29×56 for a few days and Im really disappointed in the Athlon... While it does have brighter glass, its such a subtle difference I dont know if Id even notice it if I didnt have them side by side. Not only is there just a subtle difference in glass the Athlons FOV is noticeably smaller... I have to crank the Athlon back to 20-21× to have the same FOV as the Arken at 24x. Id say maybe it was just that the magnification rings arent marked accurately but whatever youre looking at through the Arken looks bigger and closer when theyre set at the same mag ring setting. So far if I was going to get one of the 2 for free and was forced to keep it and run it I think Id honestly pick the Arken... Anybody have any other suggestions? Maybe something with better glass or wider FOV. It would be for rimfire PRS type shooting [/QUOTE]
