[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2618051, member: 115658"] Able to shoot down silhouette chickens at 1000 with a 10X but 16X is better. 50mm/16 = 3.125 nice size exit pupil. My old 16X40 steel tube Weaver T16 worked well & had surprisingly good adjustments but glass needed improvement. Periodically, I ask Leupold to make a 16X version of their 45X45 in 16X with a mil rad reticle & .1 mil rad adjustments. Not much interest for a small & simple fixed low power scope with a skinny 30 mm tube. First focal or second focal plane would be of no consequence, nice constant size and spacing reticle. No concerns with reticle drift with power changes. I would cheerfully pay less than $750 for something like this. Cheryl of Target Shooter Optics in El Paso might get my aluminum T10 to make it a 16X with some nice .25 MOA dot reticle and other MOA features. Fine optics & adjustments but would need 20 MOA rail.
