[QUOTE="Will16, post: 1904975, member: 112798"] To check resolution line your scopes up in the evening when the shadows start showing, look though one by one focusing on things like grass and leaves, trees to. You will find that certain scopes will pic out and resolve the fine details better, one way to do this is to spot bullet holes in paper at 100 through 400 yards. Again certain ones will pic out the bullet holes without needing the same power as the others. Low light, go out as the sun is going down set them all out and set something else out to view like deer antlers or something. Looking though them all record when they will not be able to see what your looking at as the sun sets. I’am betting the most expensive one will last longer giving you a better window of opportunity. CA put a white target on a black background in good light. View though all of your scopes at it and some will make fringes on the edge of white target and black background like in those pictures. The one with little to no fringes has less chromatic aberration distortions. Use the entire magnification range not just the top. [/QUOTE]
