[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1397552, member: 80699"] Thanks for the reply! So let me ask this basic question. Lets say that one scope has a FOV at 1000 yards of 50 feet and another has an FOV of 150 feet, both are 45x. Does that mean that to my eye the image circle of the the one with 150 feet will be three times the diameter of the one with a 50 foot FOV? To put it another way, if I hold my hand out in front of me at arms length, it will be 'so' wide. If that corresponds to the 50 ft FOV, then would the 150 be basically 3 hands wide? The problem I have is that almost every scope I look through, I lose the edges of the image circle due to eye relief, so I am looking at some with higher eye relief, but they have a much lower FOV...like 1/3 or even 1/4, which makes me think what I see with my eye will be a very small circle and I would do better living with losing a good part of the circle with some of the other scopes as their FOV is so much wider.
