The first point to keep in mind is less expensive scopes with higher magnification numbers generally have economy glass. As a consumer you see it most often as a high magnification scopes offered at a “discount” price. A scope lens that is not made to these standards will have hazy or warped images. You may see a mirage or ghost image, making higher magnifications almost useless. As the magnification increases, the field of view decreases, making the scope more narrowly focused and you see less of the ground in front of you.
