Prismatic / wide FOV: 10x40 or 14x50?

Matt, 😊

I just recently read your articles. Well written. Good job. 👍🏼

Thank you Matthias!

Thanks.

I can only see one pic.  It's a little soft, but MILES better than my 14x50 was.

Which scope is that?

 I went with the 5x versions of this scope, couldn't be happier, 4-6x is my favorite plinking and hunting magnification. Not sure I would use it for FT, or long range shooting though , Will see when weather gets warmer.

Sorry about the pics. Let me try here again.  They're from a used 14x50 I got.  Again, these are not as sharp due to this scope not having a nice eye cup to cut down on the glare as I took the pics:

^   Still can't see them,  but I can see them now on that other thread, plus that it's the 10x40,  so all good.

And yeah, the second ones seems very crisp for that distance.  Again, DRASTICALLY  sharper than the 14x50mm I had, with that one at ten yards.

I still haven't heard from Wes,  but I think I'll try the 10x40 myself.

Manny,  for shooting small game  (including grouse, which are harder to hit than squirrels)  do you think the extra DOF on the 10x24 would be worth the loss of brightness. or does the 40mm feel adequate for this task?
