[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2846514, member: 12443"] Well as Feenix has said, individual eyesite will make a difference. Non the less, power level choice on a rifle scope is one thing, as that will vary from shooter to shooter. For me personally, i rarely use more than 10 power when shooting regardless of the distance. I suppose if i were a target shooter that would change. For glassing for animals at the longer distances however, i prefer a lower power with my twin spotter setup. Reason being clarity is better with lower power. I even had a set of 15 power eyepieces custom made for my twin Kowa spotters. But thats simply for scanning for game, not counting points as is necessary where i hunt. Conditions will always dictate how much power can be used, at least as for getting a clear image. There will be very few days in PA. where you will be using anything more than about 30 power and still have a clear image. Yes the larger objective optics will have some advantage over those having a smaller objective, but if the conditions are poor even they wont work well. So its a situation where more power is often needed, but at the same time it cant be used to the degree its needed, at least satisfactorily. [/QUOTE]
