About changing the magnification: I change to the maximum magnification when I am sighting my rifles. When hunting, most of the time I am on lower magnification for a larger field of view. Sometimes, while hunting, I will dial up higher magnification to help determine if what I think is a squirrel is actually leaves or a real squirrel. One scope is 3 x 9 and the other is 4 x 12. Works for me!
🔶 Example 1: Hunting in dense woods usually means short range (low magnification) and often rushed shots (not much time for changing the magnification or dialing turrets on an SFP). However, I might like to use that particular gun for dense woods also in different scenarios, maybe pesting on a farm with ranges from 20 to 70y — in that case I might like a variable magnification that goes up to 16x or more for the longer ranges.
What I find really odd is that these scopes get blurry at FAR distances as well.Is this a thing with all fixed scopes at 10x or more, or does it have to do with the prismatic design?
