Ah I see now we have gone over this already :D
The amount of light that reaches the eye, ie the exit pupil, is calculated by dividing the objective lens diameter by the magnification.
I realize it's getting off-topic, but if anyone knows if FOV is dependent on the objective lens size maybe you could comment as I'm not 100% sure.
my fixed 3x is straight tube..so 26mm??? and has as good of if not better field of view than both the 3x9x40 and the 3x9x50mm variables...it slightly better than the fixed 4x28mm the old nikko stirling gold crowns had VERY good field of view....bugger all sunshade bit sticking out the end...same as the vx1s might be also a part that helps....
@Micky Duck your M8 3x will be a 3x20mm (25.4mm tube with a 20mm lens housed within)
3-15x44 vx5 is hard to beat...
Also have a 3-18
And a 3-10
And a 3.5-21
And a heap of others.
Anything under 3 is wasted on me and anything over 25.
If the nightforce nx8 didn't weigh a ton and cost slightly too much I would have one of those
I have a 2-10×44 on my 6.5 Grendel, 3-15@44 on my 6.5saum, 2.5-25@52 on my 7mm saum and a 6-26@56 on my 300 Norma mag :)
Leopold 3-9x42 VX2 on my 308 is what I've been using for years. Pretty old by today's options out there, but it still works for me.
One thing I’ve actually noticed is that I can shoot my best groups using a scope in the 4x-10x range. Higher mag makes for more concentration needed to keep the rifle still and can actually be detrimental to your shooting. I guess it’s like why we don’t run around with 18x binos it’s much easier to focus on the task at hand than trying to keep your glass still enough to make a decent shot so something to think about
