I have a nikon prostaff 4-12 X 40 on my AR and a Nilon Monarch 3-12 X 42 on my browning. Today I had them both at the range and maxed out at 12 times but the target looked MUCH bigger on the 4-12 prostaff. Can anyone tell me why????? Thanks
Bingo! Couldn't have said it better.Ramone said:the prostaff has a FOV (field of veiw) of 7.3 ft at 100 yards at max zoom
the monarch has FOV of 8.4 ft at max at 100 yards
SO! because the image area is bigger on the monarch, the target appears smaller, even though the target image will be the same relative size at 12x
