I have seen discussion of what powers for a deer pistol encore, but having used a few 2x Leup. and 4x swift and simmons models, I am not completely taken with the light transmission or the size of the rear glass... seems it is so small and far away and the tendency to black out is a bit higher in the field than I would like..
in terms of :
1. light trnasmission
2. rear glass size of the optic
3. field of view..
would you suggest some choices.. I was considering using more 4x fixed on some of the other new short barreled guns, for deer stand use.. but may use a variable for this one.. but if it is too compromised I would change that idea.. I have found the 2x Leup for my uses and my eyes I cannot see if there are small horns and don't want to shoot that for a doe (again)...
if the only thing to do for that viewing problem is to use a binocular, then I can do that and use them with my rifles often for glassing, etc. but I can always use the rifle scope to appraise a buck's horns or a deer's size or to rule out little bitty horns on a big doe imitator with a death wish.. could not use the scope on a rainy day at 80 yards to see little horns and killled a spike once with my 35 rem. contender.. took away from the experience a bit...
thanks in advance.. the 308 is on order.
