Thread: Scopes with decent eyebox at higher magnification

Literally if you want to use 10 as your furthered, I'd be looking for somthing more like a 18 such as a vx3hd 4.5-18@40. Also somthing with a 30mm tube woiod allow more light through than a 1 inch, and the bigger objective the better also. So maybe a vx5hd ?

Couple pointers just to clarify....
The vx3 HD is 4.5-14 not 18
And a 30mm tube does not allow more light in it allows for more adjustment, a bigger objective let's more light in
Agree if you want to use 10x as your top then get something like a vx5 3-15 or a swaro 2.5-12 better glass will give better image quality.

You get it though, I'm more a nightforce /march man. Although I always thought a bigger tube would help allow more light through in some way ?

Nope purley more up little swaros suck light just as well as the big tubes
