    scopes with good exit pupil


    Greetings,
    I wear glasses and I hate some of my scopes with very little exit pupil.
    I don't need much power,
    2-7 with bdc is good enough for moi.
    I luv my leopold vxIII but I can't afford those caddilacs with the pending divorce,
    what other scopes have good exit pupil?
    newbie from gr, mi.

    The "average" maximum a healthy adult eye can dialate (open) to is @5 mm. So you would want to get as close to that number with your scope at its HIGHEST power. Divide the magnification by the objective size ( for example 10 power divided by 50 mm) and you get 5 mm. Any more than that is just icing on the cake.
    Hope that helps.
