http://www.swfa.com/pc-2778-292-ior-10x42-tactical-30mm-rifl e-scope.aspx I know the 10 x42 has a side focus and the 10 x56 has illumination, but qualtiy wise is their a big difference in these scopes? are they the same lense coating? Ive seen several inferences on snipershide of the 10 x 56 being junk and the 10 x42 being better, but you never know who's drinking what koolaid when it comes to stuff like this. Im going to be using it at dusk with whatever I get so the extra objective would be welcome. edit: I have seen inferences on snipers paradise not snipershide sorry. |

Both scopes have the same technology, i.e. glass quality.
10x42 is trendier, 10x56 is bigger and heavier, but better in low light due to a larger exit pupil. Personally, I'd go with a 10x56. ILya |

Scott from Liberty Optics is a quality guy and knows what he is talking about. I did not know about the tube differences, but the glass quality is the same. I would still go with a 10x56.
