I guess the 1-8x actually is about 1.5 ounces lighter and slightly smaller than the 1-6x power socpe. Sounds like a no-brainer then right? But apparently the eye box is shorter/smaller on the 1-8x.
Would like to hear from anyone that has seen and tried both.
Never heard of 'em, but the whole thing is mostly about what you're using the thing for. There isn't much noticeable difference between 6X and 8X. The 1 ounce weight difference you'd probably not notice.
However, the 6X gives you a slightly longer eye relief. (A whole .7", but that might matter depending on the rifle.) And about 5 feet more FOV. 19.5' vs 14.5' at 100.
