I am shopping for a scope for a new rifle. I intend on using it mostly for still hunting thick woods on ridges and in the hollows, so I am looking at a 2-7 power scope. The finalists are either the Burris Fullfield, or the Vortex Diamondback.
Since I know I may have to take a rather close, rather quick shot, good field of vision is something that's important to me. The Fullfield has a field of vision of 45' at 100 yards at x2 power, which translates into roughly 11' at 25 yards. The Diamondback has a field of vision of about 64' at 100 yards on x2, or 16' at 25 yards. Quite a difference. I was just curious if anyone could break this down as to how the Vortex, with roughly the same dimensions as the Burris, is able to provide a much larger field of vision.
Thanks!
