Simmons "Master Series" Scopes
Recently I was on this link: http://www.lasc.us/RangingShot16-1.htm
and read about the new Simmons "Master Series" scopes. In the article they stated a unique feature of the scope was that the field of view and the eye relief was the same on the variable model scopes no matter what power you had the scope set to. How they would accomplish this is a big mystery to me. Anyway, I was on Midway's site a few minutes ago and they show listings for the scopes, but they don't have them in stock yet. If you read the technical spec's for the scopes they show different field of view spec's at the different power ranges[?][?][?]
What is the truth? Is the new series as stated in the above link? Or, is Midway's spec's the correct spec's[?][?][?]
Again, I can see where eye relief may not change, but how would you design the scope to where FOV did not change when you change the power
setting[?][?][?]

D@D,
After going to the site you provided and reading their info regarding the "Master Series" I found nothing in regards to the FOV issue. However, it did state that the eye relief does not change when changing the power setting. Thanks for the link. I think the first link I noted, which stated FOV and eye relief did not change, was incorrect. If anyone has further info, please reply.0
