[QUOTE="acourvil, post: 1139647, member: 33578"] I haven't used one of the 42mm objective scopes, or the 2.5-25 the OP asked about, so my comments are with respect to the 3-24x50. The parallax is set up to focus down to a very close distance (10yards IIRC). The result of this is that you turn a lot in the range from 10-100yards, then from maybe 200-infinity you have a very short turn to adjust. That can make fine adjustment very touchy from 200 up since a small movement covers a lot of range. It's not bad once you are used to it, but if you are going from another scope where you make bigger movements in that range, you will probably overshoot on the adjustment. As far as light, if you are really at last light, you are going to lose something at max magnification no matter what scope you are using, and the difference from 42mm to 50mm will be noticeable. If you lower the magnification, you will get more light, and at lower magnifications the difference between 42 and 50 will not be noticeable. Overall, I would say that the March scopes are very good in low light, but that's a fairly subjective area. [/QUOTE]
