[QUOTE="rossneder, post: 373677, member: 7143"] I'd like to re-energize this thread to keep it going. I have never understood why nobody does any resolution tests on scopes to finally put to rest all the speculation, conjecture and posturing. This is really a question to those of you who might know, e.g. any resident optical engineers? As a simpleton, I envision setting up a resolution chart at a known distance and controlling as many variables as possible, time of day, temp, ocular adjustment to name a few. Why would that be so hard? Obviously I am missing something, any ideas what that is? I guess I see resolution as the prime factor for the "best" scope. Contrast is a close second but also integral to resolution. These two variables are what enable us to differentiate game from weeds, and to shoot in low light conditions. Let me personalize this a little, as a guy who has been loosing his great eye sight for 15-20 years it seems that these two qualities of a scope become more and more important. I just can't see what I used to be able to see. Simple magnification has to many mirage side effects. So somebody educate me . . . please. Best, Ross [/QUOTE]
