   I’m a fan of ‘old school’ quality but new. A good example is Schultz and Larsen. Metal work of refined quality, cut rifles barrels, and extremely accurate. To make modern rifles economic, mass...

    The magic number is 7 ....which is why the old 6x42 and 4x32 have always worked in poor light. A tiny M8 4x is 4x28mm so again hits that magic 7. All the good light your eyes can use.
