[QUOTE="Patton63, post: 1686758, member: 87882"] To me, the issue is whether you want the lower low end on the VX5. The difference ion the higher end will be marginal, but the field of view and ease of picking up the target at 50 yds may be better with a 3x than a 4.5x. I’ve found that I rarely ever use the top end of the magnification range on my scopes (usually between 15x and 18x, depending on the scope) when holding on an animal in the field (even at 500-600 yards) because I want a wider field of view. As a result, I’ve come to greatly appreciate the value of a scope that goes down to 2x or 3x on the low end. [/QUOTE]
