for starters,i know these have been discussed previously. i looked. i am looking for furthur input,new owner opinions,posts by others who have not commented previously. i am especially interested in clarity/glass quality comments. looking to get one if some things go out and i can afford one. like the DOA reticle for my uses. i shoot only known distance paper and if a shot hunting is thought to be > 200yd,i will range the area right after getting in position. also,the 42 vs 50mm objective is a decision point,although i don't think i would ever take a field shot needing 16x. only paper on that. thanks.
