[QUOTE="bullseyebry, post: 609023, member: 41295"] Here is the only problem I have had with the Leupold . I was hunting out West watching a river bottom and daylight was fading, 450 yards away a buck steps out and starts working a scrape. With my bare eyes I could have easily judged his antlers and made the shot at a hundred yards but not at 450. I had to turn the power down to 4.5 to even make out the deer but then I couldnt see the antlers, so I would say that having a high power scope 20 x wouldn't do any good under those conditions. Even with a good set of binoculars or spotting scope you would have to make the shot at low magnification. So wouldn't a 56 mm objective and a 40mm tube be a better choice paired with the higher magnification? [/QUOTE]
