I just had my beloved 50ED stolen from my vehicle and need to get a new scope. It's been awhile since I got the 50ED and I was wondering if anything new has come out that would be a better replacement. My favorite lens for the 50ED was the 16x wide. I love the wide views I got from this set up. So my new scope needs to have a nice wide view like I got from the 50ED. I was actually thinking on getting the Nikon 82mm w/ the 30x but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed FOV compared to the 50ED. I've heard great things about the 82mm and the 30x but like I said before I love wide views the wider the better. Is there any 80mm or bigger scopes out there that has a wider view than the Nikon 82mm or is this the cream of the crop when it comes to wide views on a bigger scope?
I still have 2 Nikon eye pieces the 13x-40x and the 20x wide so I'd prefer to get another fieldscope but if there's a better scope out there that has a wider view I might consider buying it instead of another Nikon.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
