That is the truth. ![Cool]( "Cool")
Like Ted, I also prefer the 1.7-10X42.
Anything over ten power would be over-kill for where I hunt. That is more than enough magnification for my eyes.
I also like the improved FOV with less mag, now that can be argued with the 2-12, but actively hunting hogs and other vaiours varmints, the 1.7-10 is quite exceptional. I also account for cosmetics as well. While I have several rifles that look great with 50mm objectives, but 42 & 44mm are proven low light exhibiters.
