    Hey Everyone, I recently purchased a Vortex Crossfire scope from SWFA. (Recommended from this forum). The scope is 6-24x50AO. The problem is that I have to practically put my nose on the scope to get a clear view from the scope. I understand that higher zoom and field of view scopes decrease...
