How can spot anything when half of your view is block by the grid. Variable power scope can't take as much abuse as their fix counterpart. I personally think anything above 20X is too powerful for a sniper team. High magnification limit your field of view. This new spotting scope is horrible.

Several optical problems appear at very high magnifications. “only 20x”
