Up close the 008 is infuriating to use / attempt to use. Try looking at a bunny 30m away through your centrefire scope cranked up to 6.5 power Also up close(under 20m) the backscatter off pine needles/long grass/glossy leaves/sides of buildings is a big pain in the arse. And at 20m looking up into a tree attempting to shoot a possum its hard to fit the entire possum into the scope view. And then you are generally not braced against anything to assist in getting rid of the 6.5 power wobbles.
Once you are shooting stuff out beyond 50m it comes into its own.
Our Sytong HT60 3x-8x outsells the 6.5x-13x 20 to 1 for this very reason.
