458 has more to do with regulations than being the best tool for the job. But whatever, it’s fine. I’ll be hunting from a stand. And yes, ranges will be mostly within 100 yards and absolutely less than 200. Your last point is what I was thinking initially, but I still wonder if the two are different enough (other than both being AR pattern rifles) that it’s a forced compromise that doesn’t make as much sense as I might like.
Why do you say that about the low light? Is it something about the size of the lense or something like that? I don’t know a ton about scopes so I could be going about this entirely wrong.
