I've been reading info concerning exit diameter of variable power riflescopes ...
My intention is to use scope for target shooting out to 300 yards w/ .308.
I was looking at 4-12x44 scope which would result in exit diameter of 3.66.
According to what I've read, someone my age , that is over 60, my
pupil will only dilate to 5mm max in low light conditions. I understand that best resolution is achieved with ratio of 8. ( that would yield ~5.5 power).
Am I wasting my time thinking that my old eyes would be able to utilize scope of that magnification?
