[QUOTE="Casscade, post: 2551717, member: 5002"] As in just fov anything with a 24 degree apparent fov is big. Not many target, or so called tac scopes have them. The Leica magnus, most Schmidt’s, Zeiss diavari’s and v8’s, definitely ghw hensoldt z series, the one March that has like a 25 or 26 degree eyepiece. Funny how most companies don’t list apparent fov in degrees for scopes when it’s a selling point for binoculars. Small apparent fov sucks imo, especially as a hunting scope and especially when I pay over a 1000 for a scope. [ATTACH type="full"]371968[/ATTACH] Is listed, which most companies don’t, take your angular fov number and multiply by the power to get apparent fov. It’s usually the same in all powers unless a scope tunnels at the bottom end. In the case of the Leupold it’s .9x24 which gives you 21.6. [ATTACH type="full"]371969[/ATTACH] In the Zeiss case it’s 0.7x35, which gives 24.5 and that’s pretty huge. Most 24 and up is Leica magnus/diavari-v8/swaro z6-z8, Schmidt polar/ultra bright stuff.
