    If that's what you want, and can legally own, go for it. To me, waste of money.

    Alas, the cost is what is prohibitive.

    well the closer the zoom (power) the less field of view you have, so small wobbles are much more noticeable.

    Yes, pretty standard to not have as much eye relief as the magnification increases. Lower power will always give you better eye relief.

    Aaaaaah ic ic :) that makes sense thank you :cool:
    I really have no experience with optics other than a nikon d3400. So my eye is being fussy too. Sometimes my eye rapidy switches focus from the reticle to the target so it can be confusing.
