oldypigeonpopper Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 hello, i am now finding the above going more to the plus on my day scope, both Hawke, are there any other makes that have a better diopter magnification as i do not want to start using glasses, i am looking at a 3 x 12 x 50 scope for a pcp, nothing fancy, mil/dot no AO or color ret, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 You're postponing the inevitable. The sooner you accept it the more easy it is to deal with. But that's just in my experience. I'm not certain but the only way to make the reticle 'clearer' if the diopter adjustment fails is to get a first plane scope - the cost of which would get you several pairs of spec's. Plus you may be then able to read number plates at the requisite distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hmmmm I wear fairly moderate long vision specs and find no problem with my Hawke scopes. I think as wynmberley suggests the inevitable has to be realised. I noticed the road signs getting just a touch fuzzy at the edges and on my annual eye test I asked about this and was told that I was still OK to drive but to brighten things up a bit a pair of long vision glasses may be required. WOW!!! I suddenly realised what I had been missing when everything became sharp and clear again. Money well spent. It had crept up on me almost unnoticed.

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 hello, i found out the Hawke scopes have 2.5 x diopters so may see if another make has a higher X, but may have another idea as well, thanks for replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
