Thread: New scope

That is correct. My typo error. Larger eyepiece and tube have more fov effect. Large front end = more light at a given magnification. An easy comparison is to set a 2-10*40 scope set at 5 x alongside a 4.9-14.4 *40. That sets the fov's on a comparable footing and you'll find little difference then. 30-34 mm tubes and large ocular lense is why some of the high end scopes have more brightness and fov, but, you pay a premium for that. Incidentally, the eye relief on most NF scopes are less than leupold and others including some well known "high end brands etc.
