@faregame, if you have any influence with PARD this is what I would change in a heartbeat. A 1x or 2x option for scanning an area would be a game changer. I tried with purpose made sticks for the standing position and I still found 6.5x far too much mag for picking out rimfire targets, not just FOV but DOV.
